COLUMBUS — The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia denied efforts by other parties in the regional standards lawsuit to deny HARDI's opportunity to present its case before the court. It also reissued an order requesting all parties involved in the regional standards lawsuit agree to a briefing schedule within the next 30 days.
“HARDI has consistently worked to expedite these proceedings as much as possible while fighting for what our members believe is right,” said Jon Melchi, HARDI’s government affairs director. “We could have completed this portion of the process by now — absent the newly-denied motion — so now we just have to focus on doing everything we can to help the court move as expeditiously as possible.”
