"An independent commission charged by a judge to redraw the boundaries of New York's 11th Congressional District has paused its work due to a pending appeal of the issue, the group's staff told THE CITY. That means it's unlikely the bipartisan group, the Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC), will meet the deadline of this Friday previously set by a judge for convening and redrawing the congressional map."
"Supreme Court Judge Jeffrey Pearlman of Manhattan set Feb. 6 as the date for the IRC to submit its congressional map proposal in his Jan. 24 ruling, which found that the district was drawn unconstitutionally. But the IRC has not yet met or scheduled a meeting due to pending appeals filed by Republicans, the commission's co-executive directors Doug Breakell and Karen Blatt said Monday."
The Independent Redistricting Commission paused efforts to redraw New York's 11th Congressional District because of a pending appeal. The pause makes it unlikely the IRC will meet a Feb. 6 deadline set by a judge to submit a congressional map after finding the current district unconstitutional. The IRC has not scheduled meetings due to appeals filed by Republicans, according to co-executive directors Doug Breakell and Karen Blatt. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis filed emergency appeals in two appellate courts challenging the ruling. The district covers Staten Island and parts of southern Brooklyn, and redrawing could affect neighboring districts and primary timelines.
