Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-Where petitioners requested that the supreme court stay the enforcement of Idaho Code § 18-622, criminalizing abortion 30 days after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a judgment in any decision that restored to the states their authority to prohibit abortion, to preserve the status quo while the matter was adjudicated, petitioners' request for a stay was set for hearing before the supreme court on August 3, 2022; and the parties were instructed to prepare and present argument on whether the supreme court should stay the enforcement of § 18-622(2) pending the outcome of the litigation, whether the current case should be consolidated with the first case petitioners filed, and whether the current case should be transferred from the Idaho Supreme Court to the district court for the development of a factual record and potential motion practice pursuant to Idaho App. R. 5(d).
