ORDER DIRECTING ADDITIONAL BRIEFING

ROBERT H. CLELAND, District Judge.

This case was recently reassigned to the undersigned judge. A motion to dismiss the complaint has been filed and fully briefed. Defendants' motion mirrors several government briefs filed in similar cases involving individual challenges to portions of Michigan's Sex Offender Registration Act ("SORA"). The certified class action Does v. Snyder, No. 16-cv-13137 ("Does II")—which is currently pending before this court—also addresses the constitutionality of SORA.

In their motion, Defendants argue that Plaintiff is a member of the certified Does II class and, as such, he cannot independently litigate his claims. In response, Plaintiff concedes that his ex-post facto challenges to SORA are preempted by Does II and stipulates to the dismissal of Counts I and II of the Amended Complaint. However, Plaintiff also argues that his substantive due process (Count III), procedural due process (Count IV), equal protection (Count V), and eighth amendment (Count VII) claims are not preempted by Does II, in part because Plaintiff's claims are different than those at issue in Does II, and in part because Plaintiff is a member of a separate class of offenders than the Does II plaintiffs—juveniles whose crimes triggered SORA reporting and registration requirements. Defendants' reply does not address the impact of Plaintiff's status as a juvenile offender on his membership in the Does II class, and the court considers this issue deserving of further inquiry. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Defendants submit a supplemental brief for their motion to dismiss by January 17, 2020 addressing the impact of Plaintiff's status as a juvenile offender on Counts III-VII.
