                ORDER re: Unopposed motion for stay of briefing schedule in light of lapse of appropriations, filed on 10/1/2025. The request for a stay of briefing is DENIED, but counsel for the United States is GRANTED a two-week extension of time. Briefing in the appeal will proceed as follows: Appellants' briefs are due on or before 10/20/2025 for American Alliance for Equal Rights and United States of America. Appellees' brief due on or before 11/19/2025 for James Bennett, Alexi Giannoulias, J.B. Pritzker, Kwame Raoul and State of Illinois. Appellants' reply briefs, if any, are due on or before 12/10/2025 for Appellants American Alliance for Equal Rights and United States of America. This briefing schedule is subject to extension if, prior to the expiration of the two weeks, counsel for the United States certifies that the President or the Attorney General has concluded that the activities of that office are non-essential, for purposes of the Anti- Deficiency Act, and thus that counsel has been barred by law from satisfying his responsibilities to the court.

                ORDER: The court, on its own motion, orders these appeals are CONSOLIDATED for purposes of briefing and disposition. The briefing schedule is as follows: Appellants' briefs due on or before 10/06/2025 for American Alliance for Equal Rights and United States of America. Appellees' consolidated brief due on or before 11/05/2025 for James Bennett, Alexi Giannoulias, J.B. Pritzker, Kwame Raoul and State of Illinois. Appellants' reply briefs, if any, are due on or before 11/26/2025 for Appellants American Alliance for Equal Rights and United States of America. A review of the short records reveals that these appeals involve more than one appellant represented by different counsel. Counsel for appellants are encouraged to avoid unnecessary duplication by filing a joint brief or a joint appendix or by adopting parts of a co-appellants brief. Duplicative briefing will be stricken and may result in disciplinary sanctions against counsel. See United States v. Torres, 170 F.3d 749 (7th Cir. 1999); United States v. Ashman, 964 F.2d 596 (7th Cir. 1992). Appellants, however, may not adopt the Jurisdictional Statement of another. Each appellants brief must include a complete Jurisdictional Statement.
