Hearing Set in Rocky De La Fuente’s Lawsuit Against California Tax Returns Bill

A U.S. District Court in San Diego will hear De La Fuente v Padilla, s.d., 3:19cv-1433, on September 17, Tuesday. This is the first of the six lawsuits filed against the new California law that requires presidential primary candidates to release copies of their income tax returns.

The state’s response is due August 26, Monday.

The judge who is now assigned to the case is William Q. Hayes, a Bush Jr. appointee. He is the third judge to be assigned to the case. The first two judges were Thomas Whelan and Jeffrey Miller, but neither is on the case any longer.
