That is, Judge Kness has plenty of US Supreme Court jurisprudence to say the five recruited "plaintiffs" have no standing to be in court, at all. They don't live here -- nor pay taxes, here -- and they didn't apply for it, so that all bounces their claims. In sum -- "it is NOT their money". [Prior backgrounder, here.]
No, the important part of the below minute order on the docket in Chicago (on a Saturday, no less!). . . is that USDC Judge Kness (a Tangerine appointee) indicates -- after February 24, 2025 -- he will schedule a hearing on the City's long pending motion to dump the whole suit -- without need for any additional wasting of scarce judicial resources. Let that come on swift wings, sez me.
. . .MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness
Defendant's motion [24] for leave to file a notice of supplemental authority is granted.
The Court has read Plaintiffs' response in opposition and notes the challenges detailed by Plaintiffs' counsel in conferring with Defendant's counsel on whether the motion for leave would be opposed.
Partly in view of that narrative, Plaintiffs are given leave to file a response to the notice of supplemental authority, not to exceed five pages, on or before February 24, 2025.
No further briefing on the supplemental authority will be permitted.
By separate order, the Court will set a date for in-person oral argument on the pending motion [13] to dismiss. [02/08/2025]. . . .
Now you know -- onward to a sunny Super Bowl game day, and hot BLTs here -- but with about an inch of powdery white stuff down already -- and six more due by mid-week, for the morning of the Saint's day. Onward.
