Stay issued in Prop. 77 case

The 3rd District Court of Appeal has issued a stay in the case Attorney General Bill Lockyer filed to remove Proposition 77 from the ballot. The court issued the stay to allow the elections calendar to go forward including the measure, which would shift the power to draw district lines from the Legislature to a panel of judges. A Superior Court judge had taken the measure off the ballot last week. The court made no ruling on the merits of the case and set a deadline for Friday for the sides to file briefs.
