Prop 8 update: Judge Walker excused from June 13th hearing
May 26, 2011
h/t to Kathleen
By Adam Bink
The Court issued a short statement excusing Judge Walker from the hearing (which grants Walker’s request) as a result of Walker writing the Court and returning the tapes:
On April 28, 2011, the Court issued an Order setting hearing on Motion, and ordering anyparty in possession of a copy of the trial recordings to appear at a June 13, 2011 hearing and showcause as to why the recordings should not be returned. (See Docket Item No. 772.) On May 12,2011, through his counsel, now retired Chief Judge Walker returned the trial recordings to the Court.(See Docket Item Nos. 777, 784.) Having returned the trial recordings, and because he is not a partyto the case, Judge Walker’s appearance at the June 13 hearing is no longer required.

I can't figure if this is a good thing or a bad thing? Anybody have any idea?

It's what Judge Walker asked for. Judge Ware originally said, "Everyone in possession of the tapes, come to the hearing." Judge Walker responded, "Here are the tapes. Now I'm not in possession, so you don't need me." And now Judge Ware says, "Fine, I don't need you."

What do you mean, "It's what Judge Walker asked for"?

Oh, sorry, I hadn't read the linked article. But what isn't clear to me is whether or not the tapes may eventually be returned to Walker for his "chambers papers" collection Also, I have to ask, does this mean Prop 8 proponents pretty much need to also surrender their copy since they demanded Walker do the same?

@Steven B. I don’t think the Proponents have a copy. When Walker asked all the parties who wanted a copy to assist in preparing closing arguments, I remember the Plaintiffs asking for a full copy of the entire trial, S.F. asked for specific excerpts and I don’t think Proponents asked for any copy.
