Derrick K. Watson March 15, 2017 9:30 a.m. Dkt. No. 65 MOTION FOR LEAVE TO ADD ADDITIONAL AMICI TO AMICI CURIAE INTERFAITH COALITION’S AMICUS BRIEF Amici Curiae Interfaith Coalition (“Amici”) respectfully move the Court for leave to add the National Council of Churches of Christ in the USA (“National Council of Churches”), IKAR, and Rabbi Sharon Brous to Amici’s amicus curiae brief, entitled Brief of Amici Curiae Interfaith Coalition in Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order. Amici’s brief is attached as Exhibit 1 to Docket Entry No. 138, Motion for Leave to File Brief of Amici Curiae Interfaith Coalition. Plaintiffs have consented to the filing of this motion. Defendants take no position with respect to this motion. The National Council of Churches is a community of Christian churches encompassing 40 million Christians in over 100,000 congregations from 38 diverse member communions. The organization recognizes the importance of interreligious relationships in building bridges of understanding between peoples and has worked to strengthen partnerships between different faith groups to reduce suspicion and anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic sentiment in society in a post 9/11 world. IKAR is a leading edge Jewish community in Los Angeles that seeks to inspire people across the religious spectrum. Rabbi Sharon Brous is the founder and Senior Rabbi of IKAR. She has been recognized as one of the nation’s leading rabbis by Newsweek/The Daily Beast. 2 The addition of the National Council of Churches, IKAR, and Rabbi Brous does not change the substance of Amici’s proposed brief. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1, corporate amici state that they do not have parent corporations and that no publicly held corporations own 10 percent or more of any stake or stock in them. For these reasons, Amici respectfully request that the Court grant this motion for leave to add the National Council of Churches, IKAR, and Rabbi Sharon Brous to Amici’s brief in support of Plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order. 3 Dated: Honolulu, Hawai‘i, March 14, 2017. /s/ Thomas Benedict THOMAS BENEDICT ROBERT D.
