FootNotes
1. The court has also order the parties in Doe, et al., v. Trump, et al., No. C17-0178JLR (W.D. Wash.), to show cause why the two actions should not be consolidated. As noted above, Defendants in the two cases are largely overlapping. Nevertheless, if the parties in this action require an extension of the court's deadline due to Defendants' present posture in this litigation, the court will consider such an extension upon the motion of any party.
