The Plenary of the CJF made this decision after accepting the request of the National Electoral Institute (INE) to concentrate the protections to facilitate litigation and the resolution process.
The CJF order includes amparo trials that are in process or pending resolution.
The protections must be concentrated before the Third, Fifth and Seventh District Courts in Administrative Matters of Jalisco, which were the first to receive lawsuits against the reform of the Judicial Branch.
The complaints and appeals for review arising from these protections will be resolved by the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Collegiate Courts of Administrative Matters of the Third Circuit, based in Zapopan, except for those appeals that are attracted by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
The concentration of protections has already been used on other occasions, as occurred in the six-year term of former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador with the protections against the Maya Train and the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA).
From August 2024 to date, the protections filed by judicial personnel and civil associations before the country’s federal courts have generated more than 500 suspensions against all stages of the reform, without the corresponding authorities complying with them. Only the Judiciary attended to a ruling and on January 7, it suspended its selection process for candidates for judge, minister or magistrate.
However, the evaluation committees of the Legislative and Executive branches continued with their processes of selecting suitable candidates to run for a position in the Judicial Branch.
