On October 4, 2006, his legal team's Reply Brief in response to the briefs submitted by the district attorney will be filed on behalf of Mumia in the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in Philadelphia. Once the briefing phase is complete, his attorneys will present oral arguments before a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals.
