This is consistent 4 with Defendants’ previous representation to the Court that construction would not begin before 5 July 1. Accordingly, the parties have been in discussions regarding potential motions Plaintiffs 6 may file seeking a temporary restraining order to enjoin the funding and construction of the El 7 Centro and Tucson border barrier projects until the Court rules on the pending cross-motions for 8 summary judgment. 9 The parties do not want to burden the Court unnecessarily with an emergency motion 10 over the weekend. If, however, the Court intends to issue its decision on or after July 1, the 11 parties jointly and respectfully request the Court indicate its anticipated timeline for a decision so 12 that the parties can confer on whether motions for emergency relief are necessary. 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 State of California, et al. v.
