Constitutional challenge to allocation of media seating in national security trial proceedings

The Federal Constitutional Court (1st Senate, 3rd Chamber) refused to accept the constitutional complaint for decision and deemed the pending application for a preliminary injunction moot, thereby dismissing the challenge without providing a reasoned explanation. The dispute concerned the allocation of press seating during the trial proceedings related to the NSU case, with the complainant objecting to the specific assignment of media positions. The court relied on its discretionary power to dispense with a written justification pursuant to Section 93d(1) sentence 3 of the Federal Constitutional Court Act (BVerfGG), resulting in a final and unappealable order where the constitutional complaint was not admitted and the status quo of the lower proceedings remained unaffected.
