27 67.26. On March 11, 2002, the parents of Gilson Nogueira de Carvalho, in their capacity as third-party plaintiffs in the charge, lodged a special motion and an extraordinary remedy requesting that they be granted standing to appeal; they also asked that the ruling to change the venue for the jury trial be declared null because it was not based on concrete, objective grounds and because neither they nor the Office of the Public Prosecutor in the jurisdiction of origin had been notified or given the opportunity to state their position on the request for transfer. On April 30, 2002, the State Court of Rio Grande do Norte refused to grant these motions, confirming that the appellants had no procedural standing.43 67.27.

On May 20 and 23, 2002, the parents of Gilson Nogueira de Carvalho, in their capacity as third-party plaintiffs to the charges, reiterated the request of the Office of the Public Prosecutor and asked that copies of the investigation files on the death of Antônio Lopes, known as Carla, be added to the court files.44 67.28. On May 10 and 31, 2002, the parents of Gilson Nogueira de Carvalho, in their capacity as third-party plaintiffs in the charges, filed appeals∗ to challenge the decision by which the court had refused to admit either the special motion or the extraordinary remedy because of lack of procedural standing (supra paras. 67.26), and a collateral motion on the merits, in which they claimed absolute nullification of the transfer of venue for the jury trial and stressed the need for the trial to take place in the city where the events had occurred, where the population was familiar with the grave nature of the homicide.45 67.29. On June 3, 2002, the parents of Gilson Nogueira de Carvalho filed a motion asking for postponement of Otávio Ernesto Moreira's jury trial, as the motions on the transfer of venue for holding the trial were pending analysis.46 67.30.
