The 9th circuit will hear Doe v Reed, no. 09-35818, in Pasadena, California, on Wednesday, October 14. This is the case from Washington state on whether the Secretary of State should release the names and addresses of people who signed a referendum petition, to a group that wants to put that information on a web page. The particular referendum petition at issue was filed to require a vote on the civil union law passed earlier this year by the legislature. The lower court had issued an injunction, preventing the names from being released. The Secretary of State will ask the 9th circuit to reverse that injunction.
