Citizens Protecting Michigan's Constitution v. Secretary of State

Michigan Court of Appeals

Decided August 20, 2008No. Docket 286734PublishedCited by 34 opinions

1Per curiam

Plaintiffs have filed an original action in this Court, seeking a writ of mandamus against defendants Michigan Secretary of State (the Secretary) and the Michigan Board of State Canvassers (the Board). Plaintiffs request a writ directing the Secretary and the Board to reject an initiative petition that intervening defendant Reform Michigan Government Now! (RMGN) has filed. The RMGN initiative petition seeks to place a proposal on the ballot for the November 2008 general election that would modify the Michigan Constitution. We grant the relief sought in the complaint for a writ of mandamus.
