UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE’S MOTION 

FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND BRIEF IN SUPPORT AND 

OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY 

INJUNCTION AND SUMMARY JUDGMENT

The United States Department of Justice hereby moves for summary judgment, pursuant

to Fed. R. Civ. P. 56, and opposes Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction and Summary

Judgment (Doc. No. 125). The Court should grant summary judgment to the Department of

Justice and deny Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction and Summary Judgment for the

reasons articulated by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) in its brief that is being filed on

this same date. Rather than repeat the FEC’s arguments, the Department of Justice hereby

incorporates the entirety of FEC’s brief by reference (including the FEC’s statement of material

facts as to which there is no genuine dispute and its response to Plaintiff’s statement of material

facts as to which Plaintiff claims there is no genuine dispute).
