DETROIT — An appellate panel on Tuesday denied a request seeking to have Gov. Gretchen Whitmer take the stand in a hearing on her lawsuit seeking to upend Michigan's abortion ban.
The three-judge panel said it would not reverse a lower court order that quashed a subpoena requiring Whitmer to testify.
In a brief order, the appellate panel said it was not persuaded "of the existence of manifest error requiring reversal and warranting peremptory relief without argument or formal submission."
