As set forth in their Answer to the Complaint, Defendants Coconino County 

Sheriff Jim Driscoll; Coconino County Jail District Board of Directors Member Matt 

Ryan, Coconino County Jail District Board of Directors Member; Lena Fowler, Coconino 

County Jail District Board of Directors Member; Elizabeth Archuleta, Coconino County 

Jail District Board of Directors Member; Art Babbott, Coconino County Jail District 

Board of Directors Member; and Coconino County Jail District Board of Directors 

Member Jim Parks, maintain that they are not proper or necessary parties and that their 

inclusion in this action is nominal only. They will, of course, continue to adhere to the 

rules of procedure and any orders of the Court entered relative to this matter. Such being 

the case, the Coconino County Defendants take no position with regard to the 

constitutionality of A.R.S. § 35-393.01. 

While County Defendants take no position on the constitutionality of A.R.S. § 35-

393.01, they object to the form of the injunction order as proposed by Plaintiffs. The 

proposed Order enjoins the Defendants from enforcing A.R.S. § 35-393.01 generally, 

without any limitation to the named Plaintiffs. Thus, the proposed injunction would 

prohibit the Jail District from enforcement of the provision as to all its contractors 

without any showing of harm to these contractors. Plaintiffs have not declared that they 

are acting in the capacity as class representatives nor been certified as much pursuant to 

Rule 23, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, nor asserted that they meet the test for class 

certification set forth in Navellier v. Sletten, 262 F.3d 923, 941 (9th Cir. 2001).

In the absence of class certification, a preliminary injunction may only properly 

address the harm to the named plaintiff. Takiguchi v. MRI Int'l, Inc., 611 F. App'x 919, 

920 (9th Cir. 2015). Such being the case, the requested relief is not tailored to remedy the 

specific harm alleged. Relief in the form of an overbroad preliminary injunction is an 

abuse of discretion. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc. v. Winter, 508 F.3d 885, 886 (9th Cir. 

2007)(citing Lamb–Weston, Inc. v. McCain Foods, Ltd., 941 F.2d 970, 974 (9th 

Cir.1991). 

Thus, in the event the Court orders any preliminary injunction, it should narrowly 

tailor the injunction to the specific harm alleged, limited to the named Plaintiffs. 

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 18th day of January, 2018.
