Defendant-Intervenors.
The State of Montana has moved for the admission pro hac vice of
Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Gabe Johnson-Karp. (Doc. 88.) The
1
motion indicates the attorneys general of Montana, Wyoming, Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Alaska wish to support the Federal Defendants by filing an amici
curiae brief. The threshold question is "what is added by an additional brief?"
Local Rule 7 .5 requires parties obtain permission of the Court before any amicus
brief may be filed. If the Rule 7 .5 motion is to be granted there must be some
indication as to how an amicus brief will aid or expedite resolution of the pending
issues. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the motion is DENIED subject to renewal upon
compliance with Local Rule 7.5.
