Judge Vaugn Walker allows Prop. 8 proponents to file 117-page motion for summary judgment in Perry case

09/11/09 order by Judge Vaughn Walker

In his order, Judge Walker allows the official Prop. 8 proponents to file their motion for summary judgment in Perry v. Schwarzenneger, despite a court rule that limits such filings to 25 pages. Attorney Rick Xiao has this to say about the order, in his reply to my earlier post:

Given that the previous case management orders went mostly in plaintiffs’ favor, allowing parties to file equally long briefs indicates Judge Walker is open-minded and unbiased about the merits of the case. Judge Walker is known as a maverick and he has surely lived up to his reputation with this ruling.
