Also before the Court is Respondent’s Motion to Exclude Evidence Regarding

16

Respondents’ Immigration Status (ECF No. 61), filed on June 15, 2016.

19

2016. (Mins. of Proceedings (ECF Nos. 51, 52, 62).) During the evidentiary hearing, the Court

22

purpose of creating a clear record, however, the Court requested that Respondent file the motions

on the Court’s docket.
