Here's a court summary from Mitchel Cohen, one of the plaintiffs in the WBAI lawsuit (edited by me, Chandra, for length and omitting personal comments):
WBAI's lawyers had earlier filed for a summary dismissal of the case. The Judge consolidated those papers on the lawyer's request (which were in a separate building) with what was being heard today, to bring it all under his aegis. He did NOT grant the motion to dismiss our case, but took it under advisement, along with papers countering that motion to dismiss. He'll decide on this and numerous other questions over the next month or so.
He GRANTED the preliminary injunction plaintiffs were seeking, which means that Judge Braun has ordered Pacifica to send ballots to ALL qualified voters who hadn't received them.
Judge Grants Preliminary Motion for Injunction:
* "The defendants shall not count the ballots of the WBAI Delegate
election until all qualified voters who have not received ballots
are given ballots and are provided with a reasonable opportunity
to cast them;
* "Accordingly, the defendants shall establish as the final date for
submission of ballots in the WBAI election as February 23, 2008."
* The Judge also ruled against emergency motion for certain
immediate discovery (the mailing list). This will come up again
later, in the non-emergency arguments over the case.
* Judge also denied emergency appeal for remedy for the PNB mtg
(without affirming the other side) -- i.e. everything the LSB and
PNB will have done in the interim may be declared null and void.
