PLAINTIFFS’ NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY 
Plaintiffs submit this Notice of Supplemental Authority to inform the Court of the decision 
by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in Skyworks Ltd. v. Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention, No. 5:20-cv-02407-JPC (Mar. 10, 2021), attached hereto as 
Exhibit 1. The Northern District of Ohio’s decision concludes that the Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC) lacks statutory authority to impose a nationwide eviction moratorium. 
“The most natural and logical reading of the statute as a whole does not extend the CDC’s 
power as far as Defendants maintain. Such a broad reading of the statute, and the term ‘other 
measures’ in particular, would authorize action with few, if any, limits—tantamount to creating a

general police power. It would also implicate serious constitutional concerns . . . . But the text does 
not authorize such boundless action or depend on the judgment of the Director of the CDC or other 
experts for its limits. The eviction moratorium in the CDC’s orders exceeds the statutory authority 
Congress gave the agency.” Id. at 23.  
The Northern District of Ohio joins now with the Eastern District of Texas in setting aside 
and vacating CDC’s Temporary Halt in Residential Evictions to Prevent the Further Spread of 
COVID-19, 85 Fed. Reg. 55,292 (Sept. 4, 2020). See Terkel v. Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, No. 6:20-cv-00564 (Feb. 25, 2021).
