SA-11-CA-360-OLG-JES-XR [Lead case] STATE OF TEXAS, et al., Defendants. DEFENDANTS’ OPPOSED MOTION TO STAY ORDER ON PLAN H358 PENDING APPEAL OF THAT ORDER OR A FINAL JUDGMENT Defendants the State of Texas, Greg Abbott, in his official capacity as Governor, and Rolando B. Pablos, in his official capacity as Secretary of State, respectfully move for a stay pending appeal of this Court’s Order on Plan H358 (Aug. 24, 2017), ECF No. 1540, or an appeal of a final judgment. The Court’s order enjoins Defendants from conducting the 2018 elections using the existing districts under Plan H358 by invalidating Texas House districts in four counties and ordering the State to either immediately convene a special session of the Legislature or submit to a judicial map- drawing proceeding in less than two weeks. See Order at 80-82, ECF No. 1540. As an initial matter, the Court should stay its Order on Plan H358 and the hearing scheduled for September 6, because its Order on Plan C235—upon which the Order on Plan H358 is largely based—has now been stayed.
