Four of the five federal cases challenging the California law on tax returns for presidential primary candidates will be argued in Sacramento on Thursday, September 19, at 2 p.m. All four cases are now assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Morrison C. England, a Bush Jr. appointee. They are Trump v Padilla, Koenig v Newsom, Melendez v Newsom, and Griffin v Padilla.

The fifth federal case, filed in San Diego, will have its oral argument two days earlier. That is De La Fuente v Padilla, set for September 17 at 9:30 a.m.

It is conceivable that the case in State Supreme Court, Patterson v Padilla, might get an argument even earlier than September 17. The case in State Supreme Court is the only case that depends on the state constitution.
