The statement must additionally "detail the issues discussed and resolved during the conference and the issues remaining."

(JUDGE JILL A. OTAKE)(shm)
June 24, 2020 Filing 31 EO: After reviewing the United States' and the parties' responses, ECF Nos. 28-30, the Court will disregard the United States' Statement of Interest in deciding Plaintiffs' Application for Temporary Restraining Order and for Order to Show Cause Why Preliminary Injunction Should not Issue. The Statement of Interest amounts to an attempt by the United States to amend the Complaint in a case where it is not a plaintiff, as evidenced by its suggestion that the Court could compel Plaintiffs to amend the Complaint so it aligns with the Statement of Interest. Neither the United States nor Plaintiffs cite any instance where a court considered a statement of interest requesting relief on a claim that the plaintiff(s) did not present in the complaint and/or as a basis for emergency relief. Plaintiffs argue that the Statement of Interest appropriately discusses the Privileges and Immunities Clause as part of the right to travel, but the cases they rely on are inapposite. United States ex rel. Johnson v. Golden Gate Nat'l Senior Care, LLC, No. 08-CV-1194 (DWF/HB), 2016 WL 11031222, at *1 (D. Minn. June 1, 2016), addressed the government's Motion for Leave to File Statement of Interest in Response to Defendants' Memorandum in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment and "recognize[d] the unique status of the United States in False Claim Act ("FCA") actions... [in which] [c]ourts are particularly concerned with the peculiar posture of the United States in declined FCA cases." Id. (citations omitted); see also id. (quoting United States ex rel. McCready v. Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., 251 F. Supp. 2d 114, 11920 (D.D.C. 2003) ("noting that the 'United States did not act improperly in submitting a statement carefully crafted to avoid involvement in the factual issues of this declined case and designed solely to protect its interests' where the purely legal statement of interest assisted the court 'in acting in the broader context of FCA jurisprudence.'")). Plaintiffs additionally rely on the concurrence in Republic of Austria v. Altmann, 541 U.S. 677 (2004), for the proposition that a statement of interest may include other grounds for dismissal, including "superior alternative and exclusive remedies." Id. at 714 (Breyer, J. & Souter, J., concurring). But offering additional bases for dismissal is incomparable to seeking an extraordinary remedy, see Winter v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 24 (2008), on grounds not articulated by Plaintiffs.When the United States has filed statements of interest in COVID-related cases, none sought to expand the scope of relief requested by the plaintiff(s), and the Court is unaware of any (nor has the United States pointed to any) that are analogous to the circumstances here.The United States contends that the Local Rules set briefing limitations for parties. Non-parties, like the United States, are subject to the same rules as all other litigants who appear before the Court. If the United States continues to maintain an interest in this case, it will be expected to abide by all applicable rules, including the Local Rules. (JUDGE JILL A. OTAKE)(otake1)
June 24, 2020 Filing 30 RESPONSE re 27 Link [Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of the United States' Statement of Interest Filed June 23, 2020 re #26 ] filed by Holly Carmichael, Timothy Aaron Carmichael, Russell Hirsch, Brooke McGowan.

June 24, 2020 Filing 28 RESPONSE TO THE COURT'S JUNE 23 EO (DKT. 27 ) filed by David Y. Ige. (Attachments: #1 Certificate of Service)(McLean, Nicholas) Modified on 6/28/2020 (emt, ).
June 23, 2020 Filing 27 EO: On 6/23/20, the United States filed a #26 Statement of Interest pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 517, asking the Court to "hold that the Hawaii Governor's sweeping 14-day self-quarantine mandate, which effectively discriminates against out-of-state residents, likely violates Article IV's Privileges and Immunities Clause." ECF No. 26 at 17. Section 517 authorizes the United States to attend to its interests "in a suit pending in a court of the United States," 28 U.S.C. 517, and "submit a statement... expressing its views on relevant issues in which it has an interest." Wortman v. All Nippon Airways, 854 F.3d 606, 617 (9th Cir. 2017). The Ninth Circuit has compared a 517 statement to an amicus brief. See M.R. v. Dreyfus, 697 F.3d 706, 735 (9th Cir. 2012). Notably, non-parties must seek leave to file amicus briefs and courts do not ordinarily consider arguments raised only by amici. See, e.g., Engine Mfrs. Ass'n v. S. Coast Air Quality Mgmt. Dist., 498 F.3d 1031, 1043 (9th Cir. 2007) ("Generally, we do not consider on appeal an issue raised only by an amicus." (internal quotations omitted) (citations omitted)); California v. U.S. Dep't of the Interior, 381 F. Supp. 3d 1153, 1164 (N.D. Cal. 2019) ("The scope of amicus briefs, however, should be limited to the issues raised by the parties." (citation omitted)). In addition, motions are briefed in accordance with Local Rule 7.2, which prohibits further or supplemental briefing without leave of court. With these principles in mind, the United States is ordered to: (1) explain why it should be allowed to submit briefing without leave of court in this expedited matter; (2) identify whether it has an interest in this litigation beyond a general desire to protect its citizens' constitutional rights and, if not, whether the law supports its involvement under such circumstances; and (3) articulate why its involvement is proper when it seeks to expand the scope of this litigation. Indeed, Plaintiffs have not presented a Privileges and Immunities Clause argument in either the Complaint or the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The United States' response, not to exceed three (3) pages, is due by 4:00 p.m. on 6/24/20. Plaintiffs and Defendant may submit responses regarding the propriety of the United States' Statement of Interest, subject to the same deadline and page limitation. (JUDGE JILL A. OTAKE)(otake1)

June 17, 2020 Filing 16 EO: On 6/17/20, Plaintiffs filed an #12 Ex Parte Application for Temporary Restraining Order and for Order to Show Cause Why Preliminary Injunction Should not Issue. Plaintiffs' counsel represents that he notified the Department of the Attorney General about this Ex Parte Application, but he has not explained why Plaintiffs could not submit a public motion. Local Rule 7.10 ("Any ex parte application must include a declaration that states why a... motion could not be submitted and sets forth the positions of other parties with respect to the request, if known."). Because Plaintiffs should not have filed the Application ex parte, the Court directs the clerk's office to remove the ex parte designation and convert the Application to a motion. (JUDGE JILL A. OTAKE)(otake1)
