Kelly v. Kobach

Summary

The court dismissed the Governor's quo warranto petition because the remaining disputes did not warrant continued exercise of the court's discretionary original jurisdiction. The SNAP dispute lacked any concrete official action by the Attorney General, while the funding dispute had been narrowed to a standing or real-party-in-interest disagreement being litigated in another court and requiring factual determinations. The court expressly declined to decide the underlying constitutional allocation of litigation authority between the Governor and Attorney General.
