A U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel granted an indefinite stay on enforcing the 1966 Uniform Time Act in Indiana. Attorney Matthew Perlman argued that public sentiment opposed the act, which would force 43 eastern counties to switch to daylight time while western counties remain on standard time. The stay halts a lower court order that would have divided Indiana into two time zones until further notice.
