    The N.C. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments next month in a lawsuit pitting Gov. Roy Cooper against state legislative leaders. Justices will hear oral arguments in the case on Aug. 28.

    An order signed by Justice Michael Morgan outlines other deadlines. Cooper's lawyers are slated to file his brief by Aug. 3, with the legislature's lawyers filing their brief Aug. 18. Cooper's team can respond by Aug. 23.

    The case involves a clash over the legislature's plan to merge state elections and ethics boards into one new eight-member group. The group would have four members from both major parties. Cooper has challenged the law creating a new board.

    A three-judge Superior Court panel dismissed Cooper's lawsuit on June 1.

    During his court challenge, Cooper has refused to appoint members to the new board. As Carolina Journal has reported, the absence of a working State Board of Elections has left county elections boards in limbo.
