The court notes that although the First Amended 

Complaint in this action contains four causes of action the

parties in their cross-motions have moved for summary judgment 

only on the Article I Treaty Clause and Compact Clause claims. 

(Docket Nos. 12, 46, 50.) The court does not wish to decide this 

case piecemeal unless necessary. Therefore, on or before Monday, 

March 2, 2020 at noon (PST), each of the parties is hereby 

ORDERED to provide a short supplemental brief explaining the 

reasons why they have not also moved for summary judgment on the 

Foreign Affairs Doctrine and Foreign Commerce Clause claims. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 26, 2020
