Ind. Gov't. - Brief filed appealing Recount Commission decision in SOS Charlie White case

Attached is a copy of the brief filed Sept. 23rd in Marion Circuit Court in the appeal of the Indiana Recount Commission ruling in the SOS election contest . The history is outlined at pp. 3-4:

On June 21, 2011, the Commission conducted a hearing at which evidence was received and testimony taken. At the request of the Commission, the parties submitted proposed findings of facts and conclusions of law on June 24, 2011. On June 28, 2011, the Commission entered its Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Final Order, denying Parker’s contest ("Decision").

On July 28, 2011, pursuant to Ind. Code § 3-12-10-18, Parker filed in this Court a Petition for Judicial Review, seeking review by this Court of the Commission’s June 28, 2011 final decision. On August 19, 2011, White again sought emergency transfer to the Indiana Supreme Court. On September 12, 2011, the Supreme Court entered an order dismissing White’s Emergency Verified Motion to Transfer because it was “procedurally defective.”

On August 26, 2011 this Court entered an Order that Parker’s opening brief and appendix be filed on or before September 23, 2011, with Respondents’ brief to be filed on or before October 24, 2011, and Parker’s reply to be filed on or before October 31, 2011.

Here is Attachment 1, which details the complex chronology.

Here is a long list of earlier ILB entries re "Charlie White."
