SOMERTON'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE THEIR MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION IN SUPPORT OF THEIR COMPLAINT AND TO EXCEED THE PAGE LIMITATION

Assigned to: Susan R. Bolton

STATE OF ARIZONA, a body politic; and JAN BREWER, Governor of the State of Arizona, in her Official and Individual Capacities. Defendants in Intervention.

Plaintiff-Intervenors ("Cities") hereby move this Court to permit the Cities to file their Motion for Preliminary Injunction in support of their Complaint and to exceed the page limitations set by Local Rule 7.2(e). This case is one of many currently pending in the District Court asking the Court to enjoin the State and Governor Brewer from enforcing the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act ("SB1070"). The Cities' motion is lodged concurrently and does not exceed twenty-two (22) pages. This exceeds the seventeen (17) page limit set by local rule. The additional pages are needed, in part, because the four Cities need to explain the imminent harm they face if SB1070 is not enjoined. This requires explaining the process of detention, questioning and arrest of suspects and the destructive effect SB1070 will have on the Cities' law enforcement efforts and budgets.

This factual basis for the Cities' Motion for Preliminary Injunction is coupled with a complex and confusing statutory scheme that must be laid out in detail to examine whether it is preempted by federal law or unconstitutionally vague. While the Cities have done their best to avoid duplicating arguments made by other parties and to make reference to others pleadings and exhibits, when possible, the Cities require additional space to explain their case. The Cities respectfully request the Court grant this Motion and allow the filing of their Motion for Preliminary Injunction lodged herewith.
