On January 28, the Libertarian Party filed this brief for a rehearing en banc with the 5th circuit, in its 2008 ballot access case from Louisiana. The 5th circuit had ruled earlier that the case is moot. The brief for rehearing is 21 pages. The issue, to begin with, was whether the Secretary of State was wrong to keep the Libertarian, Socialist, and Reform Party presidential candidates off the 2008 ballot. The parties did not meet the Secretary of State’s deadline, although they did comply with the deadline established by the Governor.
