1 Pursuant to Fed. R. Riv. P. 7(b) and Local Rule 7.2, The Buckeye Institute
2 moves this Court for permission to file the concurrently lodged brief as amicus curiae in
3 support of the State of Arizona.
4 Both parties have consented to the filing of the brief.
5 Amicus curiae The Buckeye Institute was founded in 1989 as an independent
6 research and educational institution—a “think tank”—to formulate and promote free-
7 market solutions for Ohio’s most pressing public policy problems. The Buckeye
8 Institute is dedicated to upholding the balance of power between States and the federal
9 government as prescribed by the U.S. Constitution and to creating a pro-growth
10 economic tax system and ensuring responsible government spending. Through its
11 Legal Center, The Buckeye Institute engages in litigation in support of these ideals.
B AKER & H OSTE TLER LLP
12 Given The Buckeye Institute’s extensive work on both federalism and State and local
A TTORNEYS AT L AW
13 tax policy, it is well-positioned to assist this Court by “supplementing the efforts of
counsel and drawing the court’s attention to law that might otherwise escape

15 consideration,” Funbus Sys., Inc. v. Calif. Pub. Utils. Comm’n, 801 F.2d 1120, 1125 (9th
16 Cir. 1986), as well as by drawing the court’s attention to myriad consequences of the
17 American Rescue Plan Act.
18 Given The Buckeye Institute’s interest in the issues at the heart of this case—
19 and because this case is of significant, national import—it has an institutional interest
20 in this Court’s ruling. Granting The Buckeye Institute’s motion would neither delay
21 proceedings, nor prejudice the parties in light of this Court’s scheduling order (Dkt.
22 No. 81) and the parties’ consent to the filing of the brief.
23 For the foregoing reasons, The Buckeye Institute respectfully requests that this
24 Court grant this motion for leave to file its amicus brief.
