ORDER
Presently before the court are amicus Democratic Underground, LLC’s motion for leave to
appear (doc. #23) and motion for leave to file an amicus brief (doc. #24).

17

The court has reviewed the proposed brief and agrees that it will be useful in ruling on the

18

November 15, 2010, order to show cause (doc. #12). Accordingly, the amicus is granted leave to

19

appear at the hearing on the order to show cause and may file an amicus brief with the court.

20

The amicus has also requested that the court modify the hearing schedule on the order to

21

show cause to reflect the scheduling in Righthaven v. Democratic Underground (2:10-cv-01356-

22

RLH-GWF). (Doc. #24). In Democratic Underground, the court has ordered that Righthaven file a

23

brief addressing standing, Democratic Underground’s response to which is due on May 20, 2011.

24

Given the similarity of the issues between this case and Democratic Underground, amicus submits

25

that the forthcoming response may be useful in ruling on the order to show cause. The court agrees

26

and reschedules the hearing as set forth below.
