hmb/MOATT
The court grants appellants’ request to file a response to the amici curiae
opposition. The Clerk shall file the response submitted by appellants on February
21, 2013.
Appellants’ emergency motion for an injunction pending appeal is granted,
because there are serious legal questions and the balance of hardships tips sharply
in appellants’ favor. See Alliance for the Wild Rockies v. Cottrell, 632 F.3d 1127,
1131-35 (9th Cir. 2011).
The court sua sponte expedites the calendaring of this preliminary injunction
appeal. The Clerk shall calendar this case during the week of May 13-17, 2013 in
San Francisco.
The briefing schedule established previously shall remain in effect.
