5th Circuit Cancels Oral Argument in Prewitt Management’s Appeal vs. Charter

The 5th U.S. Circuit Appeals Court panel to which Prewitt Management’s appeal against Charter Communications was assigned has determined that oral argument won’t be required in the case, said a signed clerk’s notice Thursday (docket 23-50419). The case will be decided “in due course on the record and briefs on file,” said the notice. The 5th Circuit previously calendared oral argument in the appeal for April 4 in New Orleans (see 2402220050). Prewitt seeks the reversal of the district court’s declaratory judgment absolving Charter of any further monetary obligations under a 1964 cable-permit revenue-sharing agreement in Texas between their predecessor companies (see 2309060033).
