The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (R) and South Bend's joint motion for a 30-day deadline extension to file their appellees’ opening brief in YouTuber Donald Nicodemus' appeal (see 2404020061), said the court’s order Wednesday (docket 24-1099). Their brief is now due May 10, and Nicodemus' optional reply is now due May 31, said the order. Nicodemus' appeal is challenging the district court’s denial of his request for a permanent injunction to block Indiana from enforcing HB-1186, the state’s “buffer law.” HB-1186, which took effect July 1, makes it a misdemeanor to approach within 25 feet of police officers on active duty. Nicodemus periodically livestreams police encounters on his YouTube channel, and he argues that HB-1186 violates the First Amendment because it's “facially overbroad.”
