Arizona Libertarian Party v. Reagan

United States District Court for the District of Arizona

189 F. Supp.3d 920 (2016)

Relevant factsFree

The AZLP (coplaintiff) told election officials in August 2012 that it planned to challenge a new signature-requirement law's constitutionality, but didn't actually file suit until April 2016, then sought an emergency injunction less than three weeks before the nomination deadline; Reagan (defendant) raised laches, arguing the delay prejudiced her ability to develop a defense and left the court too little time to properly resolve the constitutional question before the deadline.

IssueFree

Whether laches bars relief if unreasonable delay caused prejudice.
