SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 21 – In the shadows of
challenges to New York State's
on-again, off-again June 23
primary, the SAM Party of New
York has sued for its right to
be on the ballot even if it
does not field a U.S.
presidential candidate.
On May 21,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John G. Koeltl held a
hearing in the case, and Inner
City Press covered it.
SAM's
lawyers asserted their First
Amendment association rights,
and asked for a preliminary
injunction. Judge Koeltl
ordered that the response is
due on June 25, and the reply
July 15, with any amicus
curiae briefs due by June 25.
Inner City Press
will continue to cover the
case. It is SAM Party of New
York et al v. Cuomo et al.,
20-cv-323 (Koeltl).
