A two-page, notice-of-appeal document will start a long legal journey for the City of Hazleton, one it hopes will end with a higher court overturning a district judge’s decision ruling the Illegal Immigration Relief Act unconstitutional.
The document, identifying several grounds for appeal, was filed in federal court Thursday. But the appeal will have to wait at least six months before it is heard by a panel of three judges at 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
The appeal was not the least bit unexpected. The city’s attorneys were intensely — and immediately — critical of U.S. District Judge James M. Munley’s decision from the day it was released last month.
