the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and (3) Mr. Leon Rodriguez,
Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
No Amici Curiae participated at the District Court for D.C. level.
B. Rulings Under Review
The rulings under review are the Honorable Judge Beryl Howells (Judge
Howell) December 23, 2014 Memorandum Opinion and (Final) Order in the
District Court for D.C. granting Defendants' motion to dismiss for lack of standing
under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) Rule 12(b)(1), which dismissed
all claims and entered judgment for Defendants. Judge Howells final order
terminated the case in the District Court. It was not, however, a ruling on the
merits but on standing.
C. Related Cases
Within this Circuit, Sheriff Arpaio is not a party to any related litigation.
Appellant is not aware of any other litigation concerning exactly the same issues
with regard to the Executive Branchs deferred action programs.
However, the case of Washington Alliance of Technology Workers v. U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, Civil Action No. 14-529 (ESH), in the District
Court raises similar challenges to other aspects of the Executive Branchs
executive action deferred action.
