Attorney for Amicus Curiae
February 7, 2017

Amicus Curiae Freedom Watch, Inc. (“Freedom Watch”) hereby moves this
Court for leave to file its Amicus brief, which was filed on February 6, 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. Appellees have consented
to this filing, and Appellant have yet to respond. However, it can be presumed that
Appellant will consent, since this Amicus Brief is in support of Appellant. 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 relieves the Court of the need to consider a motion.”).
