STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING AMICUS BRIEFING
WILLIAM H. ALSUP, District Judge.
Plaintiffs The Regents of the University of California, Janet Napolitano, in her official capacity as President of the University of California, the States of California, Maine, Maryland, and Minnesota, Dulce Garcia, Miriam Gonzalez Avila, Saul Jimenez Suarez, Viridiana Chabolla Mendoza, Norma Ramirez, Jirayut Latthivongskorn, City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara and Service Employees International Union Local 521, and Defendants United States Department of Homeland Security, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke in her official capacity, United States of America, President Donald J. Trump in his official capacity, and Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions in his official capacity in each of the five above referenced cases stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS each party expects that there will be persons and entities who wish to file an amicus brief supporting one side or the other in the motions to be filed on November 1, 2017 and that some of the amici will be filing joint briefs;
WHEREAS the Court has limited the amicus briefs to fifteen (15) pages, which would include the identity and interest of the amici;
WHEREAS it benefits the Court, the parties, and the public to have a procedure in place before the amicus briefs are due to govern the filing of the amicus briefs;
THEREFORE, the parties suggest that the Court adopt the following procedure for persons wishing to file an amicus brief:
Each person who wishes to file an amicus brief shall:
• File an administrative motion for leave to file an amicus brief, including as an attachment the amicus brief;
• File all administrative motions and attached amicus briefs on the same day as the brief it supports;
• Include in the administrative motion for leave: (A) a concise statement of the identity of the amicus curiae; (B) the movant's interest; and (C) the reason why an amicus brief is desirable and why the matters asserted are relevant to the disposition of the issues before the Court;
• Not file a proposed amicus brief in excess of fifteen (15) pages in length and the amici may not submit evidentiary material, so their briefs should include everything within their 15 pages;
• File all documents electronically through the court's Electronic Case Filing system. That will require any attorneys signing the motions and briefs to be or become ECF Users and be assigned user IDs and passwords for access to the system. Forms and instructions can be found on the Court's website at ecf.cand.uscourts.gov.
•
• The Court will take the administrative motions for leave under submission and, if granted, may consider the briefs. Amici curiae will not be allowed to address the Court during the oral argument on the motions, absent further order from the Court.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
FILER'S ATTESTATION
Pursuant to Local Rule 5-1(h)(3), I attest under penalty of perjury that concurrence in the filing of the document has been obtained from each of the other Signatories.
[PROPOSED] ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED that the procedure set forth above regarding the filing of amicus briefs shall be followed by any person wishing to submit an amicus brief for the motions to be filed on November 1, 2017.
