@GiffordsCourage @Everytown @bradybuzz "As such, the Court finds the Giffords Law Center is more akin to a partisan advocate than an objective third party.
"Plaintiffs’ objection...should be more accurately termed friend to Defendant Xavier Becerra than a friend to the Court."
"Plaintiffs’ objection...should be more accurately termed friend to Defendant Xavier Becerra than a friend to the Court."
"Moreover, like Giffords Law Center, Everytown’s partisanship is apparent. The Court finds that the amicus brief may prejudice Plaintiffs on the trial level because the brief allows Defendant to have a proverbial 'another bite of the apple' due to partisan influence."
"Unlike the other movants, Brady conferred with the parties’ counsel and obtained Plaintiffs’ counsel’s consent to file the amicus brief..."
"Additionally, the Clerk’s Office approved these requests in error as the form applications are incomplete. Each request fails to disclose that the requesting attorney has requested pro hac vice status previously which was denied. As such, these requests shall not be approved."
