July 22, 2011	Filing 320 ORDER from 9th CCA filed re: Notice of Appeal to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals #289 filed by Log Cabin Republicans and Notice of Appeal to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals #254 filed by Donald H Rumsfeld, United States of America CCA # 10-56634, 10-56813. The governments emergency motion for reconsideration of this courts July 6, 2011, order lifting the stay entered November 1, 2010, is granted. See 9th Cir. R. 27-10(a)(3). This courts July 6, 2011, order is withdrawn except with respect to (a) the substitution of Leon E. Panetta, Secretary of Defense, as an appellant/cross-appellee and (b) the expedited calendaring of oral argument. The motion of Log Cabin Republicans to lift this courts November 1, 2010, stay of the district courts judgment pending appeal is granted in part. See Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987) (stating standard); Alliance for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1135 (9th Cir. 2011) (same). The circumstances have changed since November 1, 2010, and the standard for issuance of a stay is demanding. In its briefs, the government does not contend that 10 U.S.C. 654 is constitutional. In addition, in the context of the Defense of Marriage Act, 1 U.S.C. 7, the United States has recently taken the position that classifications based on sexual orientation should be subjected to heightened scrutiny. See Golinski v. U.S. Office of Pers. Mgmt., No. C 3:10-00257-JSW (N.D. Cal.) (Doc. 145, July 1, 2011) (gay and lesbian individuals have suffered a long and significant history of purposeful discrimination); Letter from Attorney General to Speaker of House of Representatives (Feb. 23, 2011) (there is, regrettably, a significant history of purposeful discrimination against gay and lesbian people, by governmental as well as private entities). The government states that the process of repealing Section 654 pursuant to the Dont Ask, Dont Tell Repeal Act of 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-322, 124 Stat. 3516 (Dec. 22, 2010), is almost complete. The President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have now certified that the implementation of repeal of Dont Ask, Dont Tell is consistent with the standards of military readiness, military effectiveness, unit cohesion, and recruiting and retention of the armed forces. In addition, the government represents that only one servicemember has been discharged under Section 654 since the passage of the Repeal Act. After consideration of the governments likelihood of success on the merits, the likelihood of irreparable harm, the balance of hardships, and the public interest, we conclude that the stay entered November 1, 2010, shall remain in place in all respects save the following. The district courts judgment shall continue in effect insofar as it enjoins the government from investigating, penalizing, or discharging anyone from the military pursuant to the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy. Briefing is completed. Order received in this district on 7/22/2011. (dmap)

Order received in this district on 7/15/11.

July 11, 2011	Filing 317 ORDER from 9th CCA filed re: Notice of Appeal to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, #289 filed by Log Cabin Republicans, Notice of Appeal to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, #254 filed by Donald H Rumsfeld, United States of America, CCA # 10-56634, 10-56813. Order received in this district on 7/15/11. After reviewing the briefs filed the parties, it appears to the merits panel that the United States is not prepared to defend the constitutionality of 10 USC 64, which provides for the policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces. The Government argues only that the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010, is constitutional. See order for more details. (cbr)

March 16, 2010	Filing 127 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER by Magistrate Judge Charles F. Eick, The Court has read and considered all papers filed in support of and in opposition to: (a) "Log Cabin Republicans' Motion to Compel Production of Documents", filed 2/22/10; (b) "Log Cabin Republicans' Ex Parte Application for Order Compelling Defendants to Comply with Log Cabin Republicans' Notice of Deposition, etc.", filed 3/5/10; and (c) Plaintiff's "Ex Parte Application for an Order that Certain Requests for Admissions Be Deemed Admitted or for Further Responses", filed 3/8/10. The Court heard oral argument on the Documents Motion, the Deposition Application and the RFA Application on 3/15/10. With respect to the Documents Motion: Within 14 days of the date of this Order, Defendants shall produce all documents within the possession, custody or control of the Department of Defense that are responsive to one or more of the following Document Requests: Nos. 2,4,32,33, 34,43,44,45,46,47,54,55,56, and 38. The Court finds that Defendants waived the deliberative process privilege by failing timely to invoke the privilege properly. Except as expressly stated, the Documents Motion is denied. The Court denies the Documents Motion as to the following documents Requests: (a) Request No. 58; (b) Request No. 39; and (c) Request No. 40. The Court has ordered production with respect to Request No. 38 because Defendants waived the deliberative process privilege and failed adequately to support their general claim of any non-waived protections under the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. With respect to the Deposition Application: On or before 4/15/10, the Department of Defense shall produce for a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition a person or persons prepared to testify concerning those areas specified in the Notice of Deposition as Areas Nos. 1,2,3,4,6,7,10,14,15, and 17.

With respect to the RFA Application: Within 10 days of the date of this Order, Defendant USA shall unqualifiedly admit or deny Requests for Admissions Nos. 3,4,5, and 81-105, the Court having overruled all objections thereto.

Filing 320 ORDER from 9th CCA filed re: Notice of Appeal to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals #289 filed by Log Cabin Republicans and Notice of Appeal to 9th Circuit Court of Appeals #254 filed by Donald H Rumsfeld, United States of America CCA # 10-56634, 10-56813. The governments emergency motion for reconsideration of this courts July 6, 2011, order lifting the stay entered November 1, 2010, is granted. See 9th Cir. R. 27-10(a)(3). This courts July 6, 2011, order is withdrawn except with respect to (a) the substitution of Leon E. Panetta, Secretary of Defense, as an appellant/cross-appellee and (b) the expedited calendaring of oral argument. The motion of Log Cabin Republicans to lift this courts November 1, 2010, stay of the district courts judgment pending appeal is granted in part. See Hilton v. Braunskill, 481 U.S. 770, 776 (1987) (stating standard); Alliance for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127, 1135 (9th Cir. 2011) (same). The circumstances have changed since November 1, 2010, and the standard for issuance of a stay is demanding. In its briefs, the government does not contend that 10 U.S.C. 654 is constitutional. In addition, in the context of the Defense of Marriage Act, 1 U.S.C. 7, the United States has recently taken the position that classifications based on sexual orientation should be subjected to heightened scrutiny. See Golinski v. U.S. Office of Pers. Mgmt., No. C 3:10-00257-JSW (N.D. Cal.) (Doc. 145, July 1, 2011) (gay and lesbian individuals have suffered a long and significant history of purposeful discrimination); Letter from Attorney General to Speaker of House of Representatives (Feb. 23, 2011) (there is, regrettably, a significant history of purposeful discrimination against gay and lesbian people, by governmental as well as private entities). The government states that the process of repealing Section 654 pursuant to the Dont Ask, Dont Tell Repeal Act of 2010, Pub. L. No. 111-322, 124 Stat. 3516 (Dec. 22, 2010), is almost complete. The President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have now certified that the implementation of repeal of Dont Ask, Dont Tell is consistent with the standards of military readiness, military effectiveness, unit cohesion, and recruiting and retention of the armed forces. In addition, the government represents that only one servicemember has been discharged under Section 654 since the passage of the Repeal Act. After consideration of the governments likelihood of success on the merits, the likelihood of irreparable harm, the balance of hardships, and the public interest, we conclude that the stay entered November 1, 2010, shall remain in place in all respects save the following. The district courts judgment shall continue in effect insofar as it enjoins the government from investigating, penalizing, or discharging anyone from the military pursuant to the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy. Briefing is completed. Order received in this district on 7/22/2011. (dmap)

Order received in this district on 7/15/11.

Order received in this district on 7/15/11. After reviewing the briefs filed the parties, it appears to the merits panel that the United States is not prepared to defend the constitutionality of 10 USC 64, which provides for the policy concerning homosexuality in the armed forces. The Government argues only that the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010, is constitutional. See order for more details. (cbr)

Rostker, 453 U.S. at 70. Nevertheless, as the Supreme Court held in Rostker, "deference does not mean abdication." Id. at 67, 70. Plaintiff has demonstrated it is entitled to the relief sought on behalf of its members, a judicial declaration that the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Act violates the Fifth and First Amendments, and a permanent injunction barring its enforcement.

The Court heard oral argument on the Documents Motion, the Deposition Application and the RFA Application on 3/15/10. With respect to the Documents Motion: Within 14 days of the date of this Order, Defendants shall produce all documents within the possession, custody or control of the Department of Defense that are responsive to one or more of the following Document Requests: Nos. 2,4,32,33, 34,43,44,45,46,47,54,55,56, and 38. The Court finds that Defendants waived the deliberative process privilege by failing timely to invoke the privilege properly. Except as expressly stated, the Documents Motion is denied. The Court denies the Documents Motion as to the following documents Requests: (a) Request No. 58; (b) Request No. 39; and (c) Request No. 40. The Court has ordered production with respect to Request No. 38 because Defendants waived the deliberative process privilege and failed adequately to support their general claim of any non-waived protections under the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. With respect to the Deposition Application: On or before 4/15/10, the Department of Defense shall produce for a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition a person or persons prepared to testify concerning those areas specified in the Notice of Deposition as Areas Nos. 1,2,3,4,6,7,10,14,15, and 17. Except as expressly stated, the Deposition Application is denied. With respect to the RFA Application: Within 10 days of the date of this Order, Defendant USA shall unqualifiedly admit or deny Requests for Admissions Nos. 3,4,5, and 81-105, the Court having overruled all objections thereto. To the extent the RFA Application seeks an order deeming admitted Requests for Admissions nos. 3,4,5, and 81-105, the RFA Application is denied without prejudice. Except as expressly stated, the RFA Application is denied. Requests for Admissions Nos. 10,13,14,15, and 106-119 employ objectionably vague and ambiguous terms. (See document for further information.) Any party seeking review of this Order shall cause the preparation and filing of a transcript of the 3/15/10 hearing. (sp)
