According to an attorney for the petitioners, Roger Bernstein, arguments are expected to be heard Wednesday Mar. 23 at 1 p.m. in the appellate division of the Third Judicial Department.
Bernstein also noted via email that a Harvard Law professor, Einer Elhauge, has now submitted a brief backing up the argument that Cruz, who was born in Canada but whose mother was an American citizen, does not qualify to be president. The court will decide next Monday whether the friend of the court brief can be taken into account, Bernstein said.
Earlier this month, a state Supreme Court justice dismissed the suit, saying the petitioners had not hit a February deadline to challenge Cruz.
The Republican presidential primary is April 19. The two relevant legal briefs can be read below.
