NOTICE by Grannaz Amirjamshidi, Arab American Association of New York, John Doe #4, John Doe #5, Harvard Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program, International Refugee Assistance Project, Jane Doe # 2, John Does 1 & 3, Afsaneh Khazaeli, Mohamad Mashta, Muhammed Meteab, Middle East Studies Association of North America, Inc., Shapour Shirani, Yemeni-American Merchants Association, Fakhri Ziaolhagh Regarding Pending Stay Motions in Related Cases (Jadwat, Omar)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND
SOUTHERN DIVISION
INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE
ASSISTANCE PROJECT, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
Civil Action No.: 8:17-CV-00361-TDC
PLAINTIFFS’ NOTICE REGARDING
PENDING STAY MOTIONS IN RELATED
CASES
v.
DONALD TRUMP, et al,
Defendants.
The plaintiffs in Iranian Alliances Across Borders (IAAB) v. Trump, No. 17-cv-2921TDC and Zakzok v. Trump, No. 17-cv-2969, which are both pending before this Court, have
sought to begin discovery in those cases, and the government has now moved for a stay.
As indicated during the January 5, 2018, telephone conference with the Court, the IRAP
plaintiffs take no position regarding how to proceed in the other cases. However, should the
Court permit discovery to commence in IAAB and/or Zakzok, the IRAP plaintiffs respectfully
request that the Court lift the stay in this case so that the IRAP plaintiffs are able to participate in
discovery on equal terms. Doing so would allow a far more efficient use of the Court’s and the
parties’ resources.
