2. Unless the Court believes that oral argument would be useful, the Court will

decide the motions on the basis of the parties’ written submissions without oral argument. If the 

Court believes oral argument would be useful, the Court will inform the parties of a hearing 

date.

3. The parties may incorporate by reference in their briefs any and all prior arguments

they have respectively asserted in State of California et al. v. Trump et. al., 4:19-cv-00872-HSG 

and Sierra Club et al. v. Trump et al., 4:19-cv-00872-HSG, whether in this Court, the Ninth 

Circuit, or the Supreme Court, in lieu of fully re-briefing the same issues again in the current

such additional border barrier projects, and the specific locations for those border barrier 

projects. Within ten days of that announcement, the parties shall file a status report with the 

Court including a schedule for briefing dispositive motions on the claims relating to 10 U.S.C. 

§ 2808.

6. All other case management activity and discovery is stayed. The parties may seek

leave of Court to lift the stay of case management activity and discovery as appropriate.
