Case No. C 03-01802 JF

ORDER RE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL BRIEFING

(JFLC1)

 **E-Filed 4/2/2007**

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

COUNTY OF SANTA CRUZ, et al.,

 Plaintiffs,

 v.

ALBERTO GONZALES, Attorney General of the

United States, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case Number C 03-01802 JF

ORDER RE REQUEST FOR 1

ADDITIONAL BRIEFING

[re: docket no. 162]

The Court heard oral argument on Defendants’s motions to dismiss Plaintiffs’s First

Amended Complaint on June 23, 2006. The Court indicated at that time that it was inclined to

withhold a ruling pending a decision by the Ninth Circuit in Raich v. Gonzales, No. 03-15481,

which was argued on March 27, 2006, and decided on March 14, 2007. Plaintiffs now seek to

file additional briefing regarding the impact of the decision in Raich upon the instant action. 

Defendants take no position with respect to the request for additional briefing. The Court

concludes that supplemental briefing may be helpful. Accordingly, the parties may submit briefs

not longer than fifteen pages on or before April 18, 2007. The Court will decide at that time

whether to request additional oral argument.
