Parties Propose Delaying AB-2273 Case Management Conference to April 4

​​​​​Counsel for NetChoice and California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) propose continuing their Dec. 8 initial case management conference to April 4, after briefing is complete in Bonta’s 9th Circuit appeal of the preliminary injunction that blocks him from enforcing AB-2273, the state’s age-appropriate social media law (see 2310190030), said their joint stipulation Tuesday (docket 5:22-cv-08861]) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Jose. The parties agree that it would be more efficient to hold the initial case management conference after appellate briefing is complete, “so that the parties’ positions on appeal can be fully developed, and to better inform any necessary case management,” said the stipulation. Bonta’s opening brief in his 9th Circuit appeal is due Dec. 13 and NetChoice’s responding brief is due Feb. 7, with Bonta’s reply due March 13.
