Three separate groups have filed motions for leave to submit briefing as amici curiae

on the pending cross motions for summary judgment. The first group consists of thirty-three

members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the American Center for Law and Justice,

and Advocates for Faith and Freedom. The second consists of three parents of deceased

military service members as well as San Diegans for the Mt. Soledad National War

Memorial, a political action committee. The third group consists of the American Legion and

the American Legion Department of California. All three wish to file briefs in favor of

Defendants’ position. The amici were directed to, and did, file noticed motions for leave, as

well as motions to shorten time.

Currently, Defendants’ oppositions to Plaintiffs’ motions for summary judgment are

due on December 3, 2007. In view of the briefing schedule for the summary judgment

motions and the similar nature of these motions, it is ORDERED that Plaintiffs may file briefs

in opposition to these motions within ten calendar days of the date this order is issued. No

reply briefs will be required. The Court does not anticipate requiring oral argument on these

motions. Therefore, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7.1(d)(1), the hearing dates for these

motions are hereby VACATED. Should a hearing be required, it will be scheduled by

separate order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: November 7, 2007
