CASE NO. C17-0141JLR
Before the court is the motion of Movant Lamar C. Chapman, III, for leave to
16
appear as amicus curiae. (Chapman Mot. (Dkt. # 185).) On February 14, 2017, the court
17
issued an order setting forth the procedures applicable to the filing of amicus curiae briefs
18
in this proceeding. (AC Order (Dkt. # 84).) Mr. Chapman’s motion fails to adhere to the
19
procedures set forth in that order. Namely, Mr. Chapman fails to “identify the pending
20
motion to which [his] amicus curiae brief relates.” (Id. at 2; see generally Chapman
21
Mot.) The only motion pending at the time Mr. Chapman filed his motion was
22
Defendants’ motion for a stay. (See Def. Mot. (Dkt. # 175).) Mr. Chapman’s filing does
ORDER - 1

not reference Defendants’ motion. (See generally Chapman Mot.) Further, the court has
2
reviewed Mr. Chapman’s filing and concludes that his proposed amicus curiae brief
3
would not provide any helpful information beyond what the parties can provide. (See AC
4
Order at 1.) Accordingly, the court DENIES Mr. Chapman’s motion (Dkt. # 185).
