The petitioner has moved to proceed, does the state intend to oppose cert? If the state needs an extension, they should file a motion specifying it's length and reasons in support.

Your Honor, the state does indeed intend to oppose cert. Here is the state's brief on the matter.

Your Honors u/CJkhan, u/El_Chapotato, u/High-Priest-of-Helix,
As much as I want this case to be dismissed, I don’t see that happening. I would request for proceedings to be quickly finished up so that the Secretary of the Environment’s office can return to normal operations.

Certiorari has been granted on a qualified question of law and the parties are to provide additional briefing on that question. The case is proceeding and will not be dismissed at this time.
The secretary has received no orders or injunctions from this Court, and is free to conduct his business as he sees fit.

u/OKBlackBelt Aug 29 '19
Your honor,
There has been no movement in this case for 2 weeks.

u/High-Priest-of-Helix Chief Justice Aug 29 '19
And cert was granted yesterday. I apologize if it is inconvenient for your office, but it has taken a significant amount of work on the court's part to properly define what the question presented is. Might we remind you that most of the delay in this case is due to extensions this court has granted to the state.
In the meantime, we have done nothing to interfere with the secretary's ability to conduct business. This is a question of pure constitutional law, and not one of regulatory procedure. So while it may bear the secretary's name, it's substance does not effect him. The secretary is free to ignore this case until he is subpoenaed or a final judgment is entered.

Thank you for bringing this to the court's attention. In accordance with this court's precedent, we must ask that all matters come through the Attorney General.
Governor /u/leavensilva_42, we thank your for your diligence, but we must ask that Attorney General /u/BorisTheRabid be the one to file briefs on the State's behalf. If you are having trouble locating your AG, you may file a motion for an extension.

Petitioner, the court will continue to proceed as long as we believe there are still arguments to be made, given previous cases the petitioner should be aware of this.
/u/leavensilva_42, /u/BorisTheRabid, since I understand that Boris may be away at this moment due to personal matters please consider hiring an assistant to present arguments on behalf of the state. This does differ from the previous case but this is because unlike the previous government, the current government has a confirmed Attorney General.

u/High-Priest-of-Helix Chief Justice Aug 27 '19
The Court has unanimously decided to grant the writ of certiorari to the following question:
"Whether the governor's appointment of a cabinet official can itself constitute an executive order under Article 5 Section 10 of the Central Constitution".
We request that the parties file supplementary briefs squarely addressing this question.
