Case No. 2:18-cv-00490-JAM-KJN
UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
AMICI CURIAE BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF
DEFENDANTS’ OPP. TO MOTION FOR
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
Pursuant to the Court’s March 27, 2018 Minute Order (Dkt. No. 37), Proposed Amici
1

3
Current and Former Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Leaders respectfully move this Court for
leave to file the attached amici curiae brief in support of Defendants’ Opposition to Plaintiff’s
4
5
Motion for Preliminary Injunction. No party opposes the granting of this motion.
6
Proposed Amici are a leading law enforcement organization and individual current and
7
former prosecutors, police chiefs, and sheriffs from cities and counties throughout the country.
8
Amici have extensive expertise in local law enforcement and in cooperative federal-state law
9
enforcement activities. A full list of Proposed Amici is attached as Exhibit A to the proposed brief.
10
District courts have broad discretion to appoint amici curiae. Hoptowit v. Ray, 682 F.2d
11
12
1237, 1260 (9th Cir. 1982).1 Proposed Amici’s brief is both relevant and helpful to the Court. In
13
their accompanying brief, Proposed Amici supplement Defendants’ Opposition to Plaintiff’s
14
Motion for a Preliminary Injunction by drawing on their knowledge and experiences with local
15
law enforcement practices and effective policing. In particular, proposed amici demonstrate that
16
the preliminary injunction sought by Plaintiff will threaten public safety by undermining
17
18
community policing efforts, decreasing reporting of crime and cooperation with police by
19
immigrant communities, and forcing reallocation of limited resources from effective public safety
20
efforts.
21
Proposed Amici state that (a) there is no party or counsel for a party in the pending case
22
who authored the amicus brief in whole or in part; (B) there is no party or counsel for a party in
23
24
the pending case who contributed money that was intended to fund preparing or submitting the

Abrogated on other grounds by Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472 (1995).
