Attorney for Amicus Curiae
February 14, 2017

Amicus Curiae Freedom Watch, Inc. (“Freedom Watch”) hereby moves this
Court for leave to file its Amicus brief, which is filed concurrently herewith on
February 14, 2017. Freedom Watch is a public interest group dedicated to
preserving freedom, pursuing individual rights and civil liberties, preserving the
rule of law and public confidence in the courts, and fighting for ethics in
government and the judicial system, as well as investigating and prosecuting
government corruption and abuse. As part of its goal to remain constant to the
principles of the Founding Fathers, Freedom Watch is dedicated to ensuring the
rights of all citizens through action, frequently with legal cases and other means.
As set forth in the accompanying brief, Freedom Watch’s Amicus Brief would be
useful given Freedom’s Watch’s experience in this arena, among other reasons.
Pursuant to Circuit Rule 29-3, Freedom Watch sought consent from
Appellees and Appellant for the filing the Amicus Brief. All parties have
consented. Thus, this Court is relieved of its duty to consider a motion pursuant to
Circuit Advisory Committee Note to Rule 29-3. (“FRAP 29(a) permits the timely
filing of an amicus curiae brief without leave of the Court if all parties consent to
the filing of the brief; obtaining such consent thus relieves the Court of the need to
consider a motion.”).
