CASE MANAGEMENT
ORDER FOR ALL DACA
ACTIONS IN THIS DISTRICT
Defendants.
17
/
18
19
After a case management conference at which counsel in all four cases spoke and with
20
the benefit of some agreements, the Court now sets the following case management schedule for
21
all DACA cases in this district:
22
1.
The four above-numbered civil actions in this district all challenge the
23
rescission of the DACA program by the United States Department of
24
Homeland Security. All of these related cases will be coordinated
25
(and possibly later consolidated for trial) as follows.
26
2.
The four sets of plaintiffs are referred to collectively herein as “all
27
plaintiffs,” and various defendants in the four cases are referred to
28
collectively herein as “all defendants.”
1
3.
All parties shall serve their initial disclosures under FRCP 26, and all
defendants shall file and serve the administrative record by NOON ON
3
OCTOBER 6, 2017. After a party makes its FRCP 26 disclosure, it may
4
take discovery. All plaintiffs shall be permitted to serve up to a
5
combined total of TWENTY INTERROGATORIES and TWENTY
6
DOCUMENT REQUESTS, all narrowly directed, plus a reasonable
7
number of depositions. All defendants may serve an equal number of
8
interrogatories and document requests plus a reasonable number of
9
depositions. The time to respond to all discovery requests is cut in
10
United States District Court
For the Northern District of California
2
half. All discovery disputes are hereby REFERRED to MAGISTRATE
11
JUDGE SALLIE KIM to be heard and determined on an expedited
12
schedule.
13
4.
A tutorial on DACA, the history of “deferred action,” the history of
14
APA rulemaking for deferred action programs and for analogous
15
contexts, and immigration procedure generally is set for OCTOBER 3,
16
2017, AT 8:00 A.M. One or more counsel for each side shall present.
17
Please avoid argument and adhere to updating the judge on the
18
historical and administrative context.
19
5.
Motions for summary judgment, provisional relief, or to dismiss are
20
due by NOON ON NOVEMBER 1, 2017. All plaintiffs shall file one
21
joint brief on their statutory claims, and another on their constitutional
22
claims, each brief limited to 25 PAGES. A plaintiff may, if truly
23
essential, add a very short supplemental brief on any point unique to
24
that plaintiff. All defendants may file a joint brief in support of their
25
own motion of up to 50 PAGES but the Court would prefer that the
26
briefing be divided between two memoranda, one devoted to statutory
27
claims and one devoted to constitutional claims, both adding to fifty or
28
fewer pages. Any amicus brief must be filed on the same date as the
2
1
brief it supports, each limited to 15 PAGES. Amici may not submit
2
evidentiary material, so their briefs should include everything within
3
their 15 pages.
4
6.
Summary judgment and provisional relief motions must be supported
5
by proper declarations under oath. Simply attaching exhibits to briefs
6
will not do. Foundation must be laid under oath. Motions to dismiss,
7
however, need only be directed to the complaints, but if extraneous
8
matter is referenced, then it too must be supported by declaration.
9
7.
Oppositions are due by NOON ON NOVEMBER 22, 2017. The
United States District Court
For the Northern District of California
10
oppositions shall be organized to mirror the organization of the
11
openings. No brief shall exceed the length of the relevant opening
12
brief. All plaintiffs shall file a single joint opposition, and all
13
defendants shall file a single joint opposition, each party being
14
permitted to file a short individual supplement to the extent truly
15
needed for issues unique to that party.
16
8.
There will be no page limit on declarations and exhibits, but please be
17
reasonable. All exhibits for a side should be included in that side’s
18
joint and tabbed appendix of exhibits (the tabs should protrude for
19
ease of reference). The “individual” exhibits should be included in the
20
joint appendix as well. The exhibits should be numbered. The
21
appendix, however, should not include any item already in the
22
administrative record. Please highlight in yellow any cited passage.
23
Declarations laying foundation for admissibility may simply refer to
24
the exhibits by tab number.
25
9.
Reply briefs are due by NOON ON DECEMBER 8, 2017. The replies
26
shall be organized to mirror the organization of the openings (and the
27
oppositions). The briefs shall not exceed half of the pages used in the
28
opposition briefs to which they respond (not to exceed 30 PAGES in
3
1
any event). There shall be no reply declarations except for very good
2
cause, the Court being of the view that it is unfair for a movant to
3
deprive the other side of its chance to respond to evidentiary material.
4
If a brief quotes from any deposition or other exhibit, then the brief
5
should quote the entire passage, not just the helpful part. Please do the
6
same for quotations from case law.
7
10.
A hearing on all motions is set for DECEMBER 20, 2017, AT 8:00 A.M.
8
11.
If necessary, a BENCH TRIAL will be held on FEBRUARY 5, 2018, AT
9
United States District Court
For the Northern District of California
10
11
7:30 A.M., with a FINAL PRETRIAL CONFERENCE to be held on
JANUARY 24, 2018, AT 2:00 P.M.
For now, all filings should be made in any civil action to which they pertain and, for the
12
sake of coordination, in the low-numbered action (No. C 17-05211 WHA). Counsel shall confer
13
and recommend any better way of organizing the filing system for these cases, including, for
14
example, the possibility of filing everything in the low-numbered action and thereby deeming it
15
to be filed in all actions. Counsel may also stipulate to tweaks in the wording of this order (but
16
not to its substance or timeline). Any such fully-stipulated modifications must be submitted by
17
SEPTEMBER 29, AT NOON, failing which this order shall control.
18
19
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 22, 2017.
