Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 7/19/21. (DMK)
July 19, 2021 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER. As stated during the scheduling teleconference held on July 19, 2021, with the consent of the parties, the Court will consolidate consideration of the merits with the motion for preliminary injunction #2 pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a)(2). It is ORDERED that federal defendants' motion to dismiss and/or motion for summary judgment is due by September 7, 2021; state defendant's dispositive motion, which may adopt or incorporate any arguments made by the federal defendants, is due by September 21, 2021; plaintiff's opposition to federal defendants' motion and any cross motion is due by October 7, 2021; plaintiff's opposition to state defendant's motion and any cross motion is due by October 12, 2021; state defendant's reply and cross opposition is due by October 26, 2021; federal defendants' reply and cross opposition is due by October 29, 2021; plaintiff's cross reply, if any, to state defendant is due November 9, 2021; and plaintiff's cross reply, if any, to federal defendants is due November 12, 2021. It is FURTHER ORDERED that federal defendants must confer with plaintiff and notify the Court by Friday, July 23, 2021, of the specific date before September 7, 2021, that the administrative record will be filed. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 7/19/21. (lcabj2)
July 19, 2021 Opinion or Order MINUTE ORDER. Upon review of the pleadings in this case, the Court is concerned with whether there is a ripe controversy to review such that it would have subject matter jurisdiction over the case at this time. Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and the law presumes that "a cause lies outside this limited jurisdiction." Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am., 511 U.S. 375, 377 (1994); see also Gen. Motors Corp. v. EPA, 363 F.3d 442, 448 (D.C. Cir. 2004) ("As a court of limited jurisdiction, we begin, and end, with an examination of our jurisdiction."). Subject matter jurisdiction may not be waived, and "courts may raise the issue sua sponte." NetworkIP, LLC v. FCC, 548 F.3d 116, 120 (D.C. Cir. 2008), quoting Athens Cmty. Hosp., Inc. v. Schweiker, 686 F.2d 989, 992 (D.C. Cir. 1982). Indeed, a federal court must raise the issue because it is "forbidden... from acting beyond [its] authority, and 'no action of the parties can confer subject-matter jurisdiction upon a federal court.'" NetworkIP, LLP, 548 F.3d at 120, quoting Akinseye v. Dist. of Columbia, 339 F.3d 970, 971 (D.C. Cir. 2003). Here, the complaint alleges that the Withdrawal of Federal Recognition Board has been convened, but as the parties emphasized in the federal defendants' Consent Motion for Extension of Time #10 , the final decision with respect to plaintiff's military discharge is still pending. Therefore, plaintiff is ordered to show cause by July 30, 2021, why the matter should not be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Thomas v. Union Carbine Agric. Prods. Co., 473 U.S. 568, 580 81 (1985) (holding that a claim is not ripe for adjudication if it rests upon "contingent future events that may not occur as anticipated, or indeed may not occur at all"). Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 7/19/21. (lcabj2)
