REQUEST for Consideration of New Legal Authority by Janine Chandler, Krystal Gonzalez, Tomiekia Johnson, Nadia Romero. (Jackson, Candice) (Entered: 11/02/2022)

MINUTE ORDER (TEXT ENTRY ONLY) Plaintiff has filed a request for the Court to consider new authority 58 . In addition to attaching a recent case, the request contains legal argument. Local Rule 230(m)(2) provides the procedure for submitting notices of supplemental authority and indicates that such submissions do not need leave of court so long as they do not contain additional argument. Plaintiff has not explained why argument is needed under the circumstances, as supplemental authorities normally speak for themselves. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed to administratively terminate the request 58 . To the extent the filings contain argument, the argument will be disregarded. The Court is aware that motions have been pending in this case for some time. As the Court has indicated previously, it may still be many months until the motions in this matter are resolved signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on November 3, 2022.
