Nordyke en banc Dismissed and Remanded - Update!

I am totally confused. The court ordered supplemental briefing and denied the request for supplemental briefing as moot? Why, because they ordered it up themselves? No need to grant a request for something that they ordered?

I'm now thinking that the panel wants to expedite this case.

Consider, the motion would have required a response from Alameda and then a further response would have been filed Nordyke. Then the wait for further orals, should the panel want them.

Now however, both parties are ordered to file their supplemental briefs no later than 30 days from the order. The order also includes any amici that may be filed. Further, all briefs are to be no more than 15 pages. A future order will state the time and location of oral argument.
