U.S. District Judge Mark Walker will hold a status conference in Independent Party of Florida v Lee, n.d., 4:20cv-110, on April 13, Monday, at 2:15 p.m. The purpose of the status conference is to set a date for oral argument. The issue is the Florida law that says if a ballot-qualified party is not recognized by the FEC, it can’t have a presidential nominee unless it submits 132,781 signatures by July 15.

The plaintiffs are the Independent Party and the Party for Socialism & Liberation. Both are ballot-qualified in Florida.
