Having been on the road late last week, I’m only now passing along that the Ninth Circuit panel kicked to the district court the responsibility for deciding Prop 8 proponents’ motion for an order compelling former district judge Walker to cease further disclosures of the video recordings of the anti-Prop 8 trial and to return any copies that are in his possession. Chief Judge Ware has set the hearing on that motion for June 13.

That same day—June 13—Chief Judge Ware will also hear Prop 8 proponents’ motion to vacate Walker’s judgment on account of his failure to recuse.
