Defendants have filed an emergency motion to stay pending appeal the Court’s order
granting Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment (ECF Nos. 187-88) issued July 25, 2023. See
ECF No. 190. As stated in that motion, if, upon reviewing the motion for stay the Court does not
believe that Defendants have met the requirements for a stay pending appeal, Defendants request
that the Court summarily deny the motion without awaiting a response from Plaintiffs. However,
should the Court request further briefing, Defendants now respectfully move this Court to shorten
the time for briefing of that motion for stay pending appeal. Defendants request that the Court
issue a decision on the motion no later than end of the day July 26, 2023, to allow Defendants
time to seek relief from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit before this
Court’s administrative stay expires. If the Court does not rule on Defendants’ motion by that time,
Defendants intend to file with the Ninth Circuit a motion seeking a stay of the order granting
Plaintiffs summary judgment.
Defendants have conferred with Plaintiffs, who indicate that they oppose the motion for a
stay. Plaintiffs also oppose any request to decide the motion without a response and request until
noon pacific July 26 to file a response.
