LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS, Michiganders for Fair and Transparent Elections, Henry Mayers, Valeriya Epshteyn, and Barry Rubin, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. SECRETARY OF STATE, Defendant-Appellee.


Order

On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED. The application for leave to appeal prior to decision by the Court of Appeals is considered, and it is DENIED, because the Court is not persuaded that the questions presented, to the extent that the appellants have appellate standing to raise them, should be reviewed by this Court before consideration by the Court of Appeals. The motion to intervene is DENIED. We DIRECT the Court of Appeals to issue an abbreviated briefing schedule to the parties and to issue a decision no later than Monday, January 27, 2020. Any appeal from that decision must be filed in this Court by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, February 3, 2020.
