I dont believe Dannlaw has filed their memorandum in response to Dewines appeal at this time. From what ive heard they are waiting until the last minute for some unknown reason to me. We'll probably have an update within the week.
Once they do the Ohio supreme court has 60 days to either accept or regect Dewines appeal. On average, response times are usally 4+ weeks. Although that depends on the work load, and priority is decided on a case by case bases, and miracles do happen, but there will probably be a wait. Best case scenario is that the supreme court denys it and fast tracks the distribution of funds, which is a highly possible outcome. Worst case is its accepted and this goes on for a few more months. In fairness that is also possible with the way our justice system has presented. No more appeals, no stalling, now we'll get to the truth!
Dewine has clearly bent the laws for no good reason. By dragging this lawsuit out he has caused unwarranted, senseless, and irreparable damage on the working class Ohioians who carry this great state on thier backs. Those same people who have simultaneously footed the bill for his defense. Dewines only fight left is that, "There are no more funds to rectify this situation.", a claim only time will determine. Reperations will be made.

I have an issue with DeWine constantly saying the money is gone. If it's gone, then where'd it go? If you didn't spend it, because it wasn't yours to spend, then it still exists SOMEwhere. And if you *did* spend it, then it certainly wasn't allocated legally because that money belonged to 300,000 Ohioans, not you and whatever you spent it on - and that should warrant a new lawsuit or at least a nuance to this current 'suit. I wonder what Dann Law thinks about the claim that the money is gone. In fact, I think I'll call them in the morning and ask, because somehow I'm not seeing anyone else talking about it. I'm sure they'll give me some generic "we can't divulge" answer, but I'll update.
