Circuit Judge John Cooper has issued a 25-page order in the Florida mask mandate case, including a partial transcript of his oral ruling from the bench last week. #FlaPol

Excerpt:
And here's the applicable section of the FRAP (Fla. Rules of Appellate Procedure). Plaintiffs can move and lower court judge could vacate the stay, which I BELIEVE is itself appealable.

Attorneys for @GovRonDeSantis and Ed. Comm'r @richardcorcoran filed their notice of appeal this evening, triggering an automatic stay of the order by Judge Cooper in the Florida mask mandate case. #FlaPol

@GovRonDeSantis @richardcorcoran The state's school district superintendents were informed of the appeal later this evening by Public Schools Chancellor Jacob Oliva, who told them the state will therefore "resume enforcement" of ban on mask mandates w/o parental opt-opts.

@GovRonDeSantis @richardcorcoran It should be noted the notice of appeal also appears to (helpfully) include a full transcript of the judge's oral ruling from the bench last week.

With a written ruling expected by day's end, @AGAshleyMoody is out with a formal opinion letter: As to in-school mask mandates, Florida school districts must follow "applicable statutes and reg's ... till the judiciary declares them invalid." #FlaPol

@AGAshleyMoody More: Circuit Judge John Cooper in fact is expected to issue a written ruling today after ruling from the bench last week that @GovRonDeSantis couldn't ban mask mandates in schools under existing law ("Parents' Bill of Rights").
usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
@AGAshleyMoody @GovRonDeSantis If memory serves, Cooper, however, did not declare the Parent's Bill of Rights invalid, but said the governor couldn't use it to do what he did. In fact, the opposite. It's all a bit confusing.
