@AGJimHood unhappy with speed of cases before Judge Wingate

Hood calls judge’s slowness ‘unfortunate pattern’

Last month, the 5th Circuit ordered two cases filed by Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood removed from Wingate, citing the judge’s failure to rule on pending motions. The other case was the long-running Hood v. Entergy lawsuit filed in 2008.

“This case has languished too long in the district court, with virtually no movement. A writ of mandamus seeking reassignment is the only viable option available to the state of Mississippi at this juncture,” Hood’s petition said.
