United States District Court for the District of New Jersey Clarkson S. Fisher Building & U.S. Courthouse 402 East State Street Trenton, New Jersey 08608 Re: Children’s Health Defense, Inc., et al. v. Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, et al., No. 3:21-cv-15333 Dear Judge Quraishi: On behalf of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey (“Rutgers”), as supplemental authority in support of Rutgers’ Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 39), I respectfully submit the attached published opinion of the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, in New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Ass’n v. Murphy, Nos. 1525-21 & 1548-21 (Slip Op. Feb. 11, 2022). The Appellate Division upheld, against constitutional and other facial challenges, the Governor of New Jersey’s Executive Order No. 283, which mandated that all state corrections officers must present proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to retain their positions. The portions of the opinion most relevant to Rutgers’ arguments are on the following pages of the slip opinion: 17-18 (discussing Jacobson v. Massachusetts), and 25-28 (discussing the rational basis for vaccination mandates and rejecting the plaintiffs’ constitutional arguments against imposition of the mandate). Respectfully submitted, Jeffrey S. Jacobson Attachment cc: All counsel of record (by ECF) Case 3:21-cv-15333-ZNQ-TJB Document 45 Filed 02/14/22 Page 1 of 1 PageID: 762
