to order the redrawing of the New York State Assembly district lines as untimely. New York Young Republican leader Gavin Wax and Albany area activist Gary Greenberg sought to intervene in the case to try to have the new Assembly maps thrown out as well.But he said there is nothing that stops Wax and Greenberg to file a separate lawsuit independent from the current redistricting case.
