Federal Court in Illinois Again Postpones Decision in Libertarian Ballot Access Case

For the third time, a federal judge in Illinois has not released an opinion in Libertarian Party of Illinois v Illinois State Board of Elections, n.d., 1:12cv2511, by the date that she had said she would release it. The issue in the lawsuit is the law that requires a newly-qualifying party to run a full slate of candidates.

On February 12, 2015, the judge had said she would rule by the next status conference hearing, and set the status conference for March 11.

But on March 10, she postponed the status conference to March 24.

Then, on March 23, she postponed the status conference to April 7, but she also said at the time, “The Court will issue a ruling on the pending cross-motions for summary judgment within the week.” The week ended on Saturday, March 28, but the opinion is still not out.
