NO. 3:22-cv-00318

ORDER
Morgan Ortagus has filed a Motion for Leave to File an Amicus Brief in Support of Robert
Starbuck Newsom’s Motion for Temporary Restraining Order or in the Alternative a Preliminary
Injunction (Doc. No. 31). The motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Mr. Newsom has
capable and competent counsel of record that includes Eric G. Osborne and Mark Alexander
Carver of the law firm of Sherrard Roe Voight & Harbison. Ms. Ortagus has not identified another
case that may be affected by the Court’s decision in this case. Neither has she identified any
“unique information or perspective” that may help the Court. Indeed, it appears at this junction
that all counsel of record are competent to advance arguments on the issues presented.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
