April 20, 2016–The three-judge panel mentioned in the briefing order for challenges of the FCC’s second report and order on inmate calling services (ICS) before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was the panel that disposed of the motions regarding the briefing schedule, and not necessarily the panel that will hear the case. It is the custom of the court to announce the panel that will consider the merits of the case later in the proceedings, “usually 30 days before the date of oral argument,” according to the court’s “Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures.”
