Texas judge ignores his rules to keep #mifepristone case moves hidden

Judge #Kacsmaryk warns people in his court that he “heavily disfavors” sealing matters in cases before him because of the “public’s right to know” — standards that he doesn’t appear to apply to himself.

In that situation, as The Washington Post reported on Saturday night, Kacsmaryk will schedule #status #conference calls with parties off the public docket, will hold such #conferences off the public docket, will schedule hearings but keep the #scheduling #order off the public docket when the decision is made, and will ask the parties not to share relevant information with the public (again without noting that request on the public docket as an order).

All of those revelations come from the Post’s article about the still-undocketed upcoming Wednesday injunction hearing in the challenge to the FDA’s longstanding #mifepristone approval and more recent decision ending the “in-person #dispensing requirement” for the drug.

The #medication #abortion challenge has gotten substantial attention in recent months, including here at Law Dork, where it was reported that an injunction hearing was expected.

*Any time after Wednesday’s hearing*, Kacsmaryk could rule on the plaintiffs’ request — although it should be noted that some experts have questioned the extent of Kacsmaryk’s authority in the case.
