Pending before the Court is the motion by twelve administrative law professors to file an

19
20

amicus brief in connection with Plaintiff’s Motion To Affirm Civil Penalties. ECF No. 180. The

21

Court has determined that the amicus motion may be decided without further briefing or oral

22

argument.
The parties have already provided the Court with sophisticated and thorough briefing on

23
24

the pertinent issues. The Court does not believe that further briefing by the proposed amici would

25

be helpful to resolution of the motion.
