EnglishEspañolSimplified EnglishEspañol Fácil
The case involves multiple plaintiffs, including various civil rights organizations and individuals, against defendants including California's Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and the Director of the Department of Corrections, along with an intervenor, Californians Against Discrimination and Preferences, Inc. The appeal concerns a preliminary injunction related to issues of economic equity and affirmative action in California.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an order deferring the motion from the defendant-intervenor for a stay of the preliminary injunction, pending further court decisions. The court confirmed it would retain jurisdiction over the merits of the case and expedite the briefing schedule. Plaintiffs must submit their answering brief by February 21, 1997, while the defendants and the intervenor are to file their reply briefs by February 28, 1997. The court indicated that further oral arguments may be scheduled if deemed necessary.
