EAST BAY SANCTUARY COVENANT,

Plaintiffs, 
v. 
 
DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., 
Defendants. 
Case No. 18-cv-06810-JST   
 
 
ORDER GRANTING LEAVE TO FILE 
AMICUS BRIEFS 
Re: ECF Nos. 81, 82 
 
 
Before the Court are two motions for leave to file an amicus brief in support of Plaintiffs’ 
motion for a preliminary injunction.  The proposed amici are the United Nations High 
Commissioner for Refugees (“UNHCR”), ECF No. 81, and a coalition of twelve States and the 
District of Columbia (the “States”), ECF No. 82.  Defendants do not oppose the motions.  ECF 
No. 85. 
Having reviewed the motions, the Court concludes that the UNHCR and the States will 
“fulfill the classic role of amicus curiae by assisting in a case of general public interest, .  . . 
supplementing the efforts of counsel, and drawing the court’s attention to law that might otherwise 
escape consideration.”  Funbus Sys., Inc. v. Cal. Pub. Utils. Comm’n., 801 F.2d 1120, 1125 (9th 
Cir. 1986) (citation omitted).  
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the motions.  The proposed briefs at ECF Nos. 81-1 and 
82-1 shall be deemed filed. 
IT IS SO ORDERED. 
Dated:  December 7, 2018
