Filing 96
Order re: Letter, filed on August 21, 2014, by attorneys Dean A. Strang and Michael J. Bresnick. Review of this court's docket and the district court's docket shows that the district court transmitted document nos. 53 and 218 to this court, but they were not filed in the record on appeal. Because some of the exhibits to those documents may be duplicates of documents already in the record, the parties should inform the district court whether documents 53 and 218 and any of their exhibits should be added to the record on appeal. If document no. 53 and its exhibits are retransmitted to this court, exhibit F will be maintained under seal. If document no. 218 and its exhibits are retransmitted, the parties shall inform the court within three days of its filing which of its exhibits should remain sealed.

ORDER: 1. Defendants-Appellants' Motion for Leave to File Briefs Under Seal. 2. Plaintiffs-Appellees' Motion to Maintain Documents Under Seal. 3. Plaintiffs-Appellees' Motion to File Materials Under Seal. 4. Defendant-Appellant's Motion to Maintain Eleven Electronic Files Under Seal. 5. Unnamed Intervenors' Joint Motion to Maintain Sealing. 6. Media Coalition's Opposition to Motions to Maintain Sealing. The parties' motions to seal are GRANTED in part. The clerk of this court shall maintain under seal document nos. 109, 110-22 (exhibit A), 110-24 (exhibit C), 110-25 (exhibit D), 110-26 (exhibit E), 110-27 (exhibit F), 114, 117-8 (exhibit B), 117-9 (exhibit C), and 117-10 (exhibit D). Appellees' request to seal document no. 7 (exhibit D) is DENIED. The requests to seal exhibits F and J to document no. 53 are DENIED as unnecessary because document no. 53 and its exhibits were not transmitted to this court as part of the record on appeal. If the parties believe document no. 53 is relevant to the issues on appeal, they should move to correct the record with the district court. Appellees' motion to file exhibits under seal is GRANTED in part. The clerk of this court shall file appellees' redacted version of documents 109 (exhibit C to #3) and 114 (exhibit D to #3) in the public record. Documents 109 and 114 are pp. 843-871 and 913-936 of "sealed doc. part 3" in this court's docket entry 74. The exhibits to documents 110 and 117 were transmitted to this court in electronic files that contain multiple exhibits. (See this court's docket entry # 74). The portions of those documents that will remain under seal are pp. 76-124 and 165-254 of Sealed doc #110 Part 1; all of Sealed doc #110 Part 2; pp. 1-129 of Sealed doc #110 Part 3; pp. 55-454 of Sealed doc #117 Part 1; and pp. 1-100 of Sealed doc #117 Part 2. The clerk of the district court is directed to retransmit documents 110 and 117 in electronic files that separate the portions that will remain sealed from the surrounding exhibits. After the district court clerk retransmits these documents, the clerk of this court shall maintain under seal 110-22, 24, 25, 26, 27 (exhibits A, C, D, E, F) and 117-8, 9, 10 (exhibits B, C, D) and unseal the remainder of documents 110 and 117. The clerk of this court shall unseal document no. 7 (exhibit D) and the remaining sealed documents not addressed in this order. Appellants' motion to file redacted versions of its briefs in the public record and unredacted versions of its brief under seal is GRANTED. Appellants shall file by August 26, 2014, new versions of their redacted briefs that exclude only the information this court has now permitted to remain under seal. The parties may raise any arguments regarding the sealed documents at oral argument.

Filing 41
ORDER re: 1. Defendant-Appellant Dean Nickel's Motion for Stay. 2. Declaration of Justin H. Lessner in Support of Defendant-Appellant Dean Nickel's Motion for Stay. 3. Defendant-Appellant's Motion to Stay the District Court's Certification of Defendant-Appellant's Appeals as Frivolous and all Other District Court Proceedings. 4. Defendants-Appellants John Chisholm, Bruce Landgraf and David Robles' Motion for Stay of District Court Proceedings. 5. Plaintiffs' Response to Defendants' Stay Motions and Cross-Motion for Summary Affirmance of Denial of Defendants' Motion to Dismiss. 6. Defendant-Appellant Dean Nickel's Reply in Support of Motion for Stay and Response to Plaintiffs-Appellees' Cross-Motion for Summary Affirmance. 7. Defendants-Appellants John Chisholm, Bruce Landgraf, and David Robles' Reply Brief in Support of their Motion for Stay of District Court Proceedings. 8. Defendant-Appellant Francis Schmitz's Response to Plaintiffs-Appellees' Cross-Motion for Summary Affirmance and Reply in Support of Motion to Stay. After our order of May 7, 2014, the district court concluded that the appeals are frivolous. UnderApostol v. Gallion, 870 F.2d 1335 (7th Cir. 1989), that clears the way for further proceedings in the district court, subject to the partial stay that our order of May 7 imposed while the appeals remain under advisement. This court has set a briefing schedule, but most of the litigants have asked for other relief, including further stays, an order dismissing some or all of the appeals, or summary affirmance. We do not attempt to address each of these motions individually but instead cover the ground as follows. 1. Appeal Nos. 14-2006, 14-2012, and 14-2023 challenge the district courts authority to issue a preliminary injunction, and to conduct proceedings concerning the request for permanent injunctive relief. They are frivolous to the extent they present this topic. Defendants invocation of immunity does not affect litigation underEx parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908), that seeks prospective relief to compel compliance with federal law (including the Constitution).The district court therefore had authority, notwithstanding the appeals, to issue an injunction. 2. The injunction is appealable under 28 U.S.C. 1292(a).Appeal Nos. 14-2006, 14-2012, and 14-2023, to the extent they anticipated the injunction, are effective underFed. R. App. 4(a)(2).We interpret these notices of appeal to contest that injunction (which the order of May 7 stayed in part). If this understanding is incorrect, appellants should inform us within seven days, and these three appeals will be dismissed outright. 3. The court needs further information to determine whether the appeals asserting qualified immunity from damages (Nos.14-1822, 14-1888, and 14-1899)are frivolous. Some of the papers suggest that these appellants are arguing that the complaint is inadequate underBell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007). That would be problematic as the basis of an interlocutory appeal. The Supreme Court has held, most recently inPlumhoff v. Rickard, No. 12-1117 (U.S. May 27, 2014), slip op. 5-7, that an interlocutory appeal is proper to contend that legal uncertainty makes damages inappropriate, but that a fact-specific appeal is not authorized. Arguments about the adequacy of factual allegations in the complaint thus may come within the scope ofJohnson v. Jones, 515 U.S. 304 (1995). But if appellants are arguing that the law is not clearly established in plaintiffs favor, even if the allegations of the complaint suffice under Rule 8, then we have jurisdiction over the appeals. Those appellants who contend that qualified immunity protects them from awards of damages have 14 days to file memoranda explaining what issues they plan to raise on appeal and why, in their view, 28U.S.C. 1291 confers jurisdiction. 4. Proceedings in the district court concerning damages are stayed pending further order of this court. 5. The briefing schedule set by order of May 13, 2014, is vacated. The court will establish a new schedule after all jurisdictional issues have been resolved.

Order re: 1. Defendants-Appellants' Emergency Motion for Stay Pending Appeal & Memorandum in Support of Motion. 2. Defendants-Appellants' Second Emergency Motion for Stay and Request for Single Judge Review. 3. Defendants-Appellants' Emergency Motion for Summary Vacation of the District Court's May 6, 2014 Order and Memorandum in Support of Motion. 4. Eric O'Keefe and the Wisconsin Club for Growth's Response to Defendant-Appellants' Emergency Motion for Stay Pending Appeal. Apostol v. Gallion, 870 F.2d 1335 (7th Cir. 1989), holds that, once a litigant files a notice of appeal, a district court may not take any further action in the suit unless it certifies that the appeal is frivolous. The district court failed to follow that rule when, despite the notice of appeal filed by several defendants, it entered a preliminary injunction. This court accordingly stays the injunction, and all further proceedings in the district court, until the judge has ruled definitively on the question posed by Apostol. If the district court concludes that the appeal is non-frivolous with respect to the complaints request for injunctive relief under the doctrine of Ex parte Young, 209 U.S. 123 (1908), then this stay will continue in force until this court has resolved the appeal on the merits. If the district court concludes that the appeal is frivolous with respect to the complaints request for injunctive relief under the doctrine of Ex parte Young, then proceedings in the district court may resume, though appellants would be entitled to renew in this court their request for a stay. Whether or not the district court determines that the appeal is frivolous, the portions of the injunction that require defendants to return or destroy documents will remain stayed as long as proceedings continue in this court. Compliance with those portions of the injunction could moot some or all of the issues on appeal. Whether or not any pre-injunction order is appealable, the preliminary injunction is itself open to appeal under 28 U.S.C. 1292(a). It would be inappropriate to implement the injunction in a manner that effectively prevents appellate review. Plaintiffs interests, pending the review authorized by 1292, can be protected if defendants hold the information in confidence and not use it. We hereby stay the return-and-destroy portions of the injunction and order defendants not to disclose or use the information they have gathered, and that is within the scope of the injunction, pending further order of this court.
