Today an appeal was filed for an emergency stay of voter ID, with the Indiana Court of Appeals, and a motion for the state supreme court to decide whether to assert jurisdiction over the appeal. In reverse order of likelihood, the court may issue the stay, may hold a hearing, say Monday, or do nothing.

STATE OF INDIANA ) IN THE INDIANA COURT OF APPEALS

) SS:

COUNTYOFMARION ) CAUSE NO. 49D04-06 10-CT-044 1 13



Joell Palmer,

Plaintiff,

v.

Marion County, et al.

Defendants.





EMERGENCY MOTION FOR STAY


Plaintiff by counsel pursuant to Ind. Appellate Rule 56 A, respectfully requests that the Indiana Court of Appeals issue the Temporary Restraining Order denied by the trial court, and if time permits set a hearing for Monday or sooner.

The appeal involves a substantial question of law of great public importance, whether or not the Plaintiff and other voters must submit to a search of a state-issued voting license before being able to cast their vote as of right under Article II section 2 and Article II section 1. Additional claims lie under the Indiana Bill of Rights, the federal constitution, and the Privacy Act of 1974. Plaintiff was denied the right to vote at the primary and expects to be denied the right to vote on Tuesday, unless a court orders relief. The integrity of the election process is at risk. The complaint, the motion in the court below and the memo in support of that motion provide supportive detail.

Plaintiff in the motion for interlocutory appeal cites to both rule 14 A and Rule 14 B, as it was unclear whether this is an appeal of right. The court below has declined to rule on the motion for leave to appeal, so Plaintiff requests that his motion be understood as a motion for appeal as of right under 14 A.

Respectfully submitted,
