UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTIN LERMA-MAYORAL,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF EL CENTRO, et al.,

Defendant.

Case No.: 15cv818-LAB (PCL)

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO FILE 

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

Defendant Imperial County has filed an ex parte motion for leave to file 

supplemental authority (Docket no. 82) in support of its motion for summary 

judgment. The motion brings to the Court’s attention the Ninth Circuit’s recent 

memorandum opinion in 17-55533, Mehta v. City of Upland. But beyond that, 

Imperial County asks for leave to file briefing on the significance of the opinion. 

The Court may, of course, take notice of relevant decisional authority. But 

the opinion is straightforward and it does not appear briefing would significantly 

help in interpreting it. Furthermore, it does not establish or modify existing law, and 

it is not binding precedent. See Ninth Circuit Rules 36-1, 36-2, and 36-3(a).
