Justices order Denney to respond to tribe’s court filing within 14 days

The Idaho Supreme Court has issued an order this evening setting a briefing schedule in Coeur d’Alene Tribe v. Denney, the instant racing challenge. Idaho Secretary of State Lawerence Denney, who is represented by Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, is ordered to file his response to the tribe’s court challenge within 14 days. That gives the state slightly longer to respond than the tribe had suggested; in its motion for an expedited hearing, it asked for the state to respond by June 11; the tribe to file its reply by June 18; and the court to set a hearing for the week of June 22. That request was aimed at settling the issue before July 1.
