Ark. Judge Denies NetChoice Motion to Extend Deadline for Its Social Media Reply Brief

U.S. District Judge Timothy Brooks for Western Arkansas in Fayetteville granted NetChoice’s unopposed motion to expand the 10-page limit of its reply brief to 15 pages but denied its request for a four-day deadline extension, said his text-only order Monday (docket 5:23-cv-05105). The deadline remains Thursday for NetChoice’s reply brief in support of its motion for a preliminary injunction to block Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin (R) from enforcing the state’s social media age verification law when it takes effect Sept. 1. Griffin opposed the deadline extension, saying it would be prejudicial to his case (see 2307310006).
