On July 10, 2017, five residents of Florida, the ACLU of Florida, and the Florida Immigrant Coalition, Inc. filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

On July 10, 2017, five residents of Florida, the ACLU of Florida, and the Florida Immigrant Coalition, Inc. filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The case was assigned to Judge Marcia G. Cooke and Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman. The plaintiffs sued the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity (Commission), the Executive Office of the President of the United States, the Executive Office of the Vice President of the United States, and several agents of the executive branch, all under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), and the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The plaintiffs also sued the Florida Secretary of State under state law, namely Florida Statute § 97.0585: Information Regarding Voters and Voter Registration Confidentiality. The plaintiffs, represented by the ACLU and other public interest counsel, sought declaratory and injunctive relief as well as attorneys’ fees and costs.

This complaint, brought on behalf of Florida voters, challenged the legality of the actions of the Commission and the legality of its directive requesting voter registration information of state-registered voters in Florida and throughout the United States. The plaintiffs sought to prevent the unauthorized collection of state voter information data and to prohibit the Florida Secretary of State and other similarly situated officials of other states from providing state voter data to the Commission. The plaintiffs claimed that the actions of the Commission and other defendants constituted an unjustified invasion of privacy in violation of the constitutional separation of powers, Article II, and voters’ First Amendment rights.

On July 13, 2017, the plaintiffs moved for a temporary restraining order, asking the court to prohibit the defendants from collecting every American voter’s personal data to create a national, centralized database, to prohibit the defendants from running all business until fully complying with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, and to restrain the Florida Secretary of State from submitting to the Commission any voter data in violation of Fla. Stat. § 97.0585 and Florida’s Right to Privacy. The court held a hearing on July 18, 2017, regarding this motion. Unfortunately, the details of this hearing are not available on the docket. On July 20, 2017, deferring to the conclusions made during the hearing, Judge Marcia Cooke denied without prejudice the plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order. 2017 WL 3113486.

On August 14, 2017, the defendant Florida Secretary moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or, in the alternative, because the plaintiffs failed to state a cause of action. The following month, the Secretary filed a motion to stay the filing of the joint scheduling report until the court resolved this motion to dismiss. The court denied this motion to stay, finding that if there were a stay and the court ultimately denied the motion, this case would have been significantly behind schedule.

On October 20, 2017, the federal defendants moved to dismiss this action, arguing that the case lacked subject matter jurisdiction because the plaintiffs failed to establish standing. In December 2017, the federal defendants moved for a protective order staying discovery until the court ruled on the federal defendants’ pending motion to dismiss.

On December 29, 2017, however, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, removing a claim that the federal defendants had exceeded the authority of Executive Order 13799. As such, the court denied as moot both the motions to dismiss as they were regarding the initial complaint.

On January 5, 2018, the plaintiffs filed an emergency motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. The plaintiffs filed this motion because on January 3, 2018, President Trump issued an Executive Order terminating the Commission after the defendants and other had successfully worked together to transfer private, protected voter data to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The plaintiffs claimed that, in using Commission data, the Federal Defendants sought to “Stop Aliens From Voting,” without complying with FACA and argued that injunctive relief was appropriate to compel government compliance with FACA. The court referred this motion to Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman. 2018 WL 333821.

On February 6, 2018, Judge Goodman issued a report and recommendation regarding the plaintiffs’ emergency motion. Judge Goodman recommended that the plaintiffs’ motion be denied because Plaintiffs had not established a substantial threat of irreparable injury. 2018 WL 1863751. Agreeing with the report, Judge Cooke denied the motion on March 19, 2018.

In light of the dissolution of the Commission, the defendant Secretary and the federal defendants filed new motions to dismiss, arguing that without the Commission, the complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.

On May 30, 2018, Judge Cooke entered an order granting both motions to dismiss and dismissed the case. The court granted the defendant Secretary’s motion because Florida had already provided the Commission with the publicly available information, and the Commission had been disbanded. As such, there was no continuing case or controversy with respect to the Secretary. The court granted the federal defendants’ motion for similar reasons. The Commission ceased to exist and, while Judge Cooke agreed with the plaintiffs that simply because a commission ceased to exist does not necessarily render a case moot, the court found that the instant case had indeed become moot as to the remaining federal defendants. The case is presumably closed.

ENDORSED ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE: This case is before me upon a review of the record. On July 13, 2017, Plaintiffs filed a 6 Corrected Motion for Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") with Request for Expedited Treatment. That same day, Federal Defendants filed a 12 Notice of Related Motions for TRO, requesting this Court await the forthcoming decision on the related motions and provide the Federal Defendants an opportunity to fully respond to Plaintiffs' arguments in this case. On July 14, 2017, Plaintiffs filed a 14 Response in Opposition to Federal Defendants' Notice of Related Motions for TRO, objecting to the Federal Defendants' Notice and again requesting expedited treatment. Defendant Ken Detzner, sued in his official capacity as Florida Secretary of State, has not yet made an appearance in this case. I find that Plaintiffs have not fully complied with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(1) to allow for the issuance of a TRO without notice. Specifically, Plaintiffs have not alleged specifics facts in an affidavit that clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage will result before the adverse party can be heard in opposition. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(1)(a). Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs shall demonstrate compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(1) by 5:00 p.m. on July 17, 2017, or shall otherwise show cause as to why Plaintiffs' 6 Corrected Motion for TRO should not be handled in due course or treated as a motion for preliminary injunction.

ENDORSED ORDER denying the Parties' 44 Joint Motion to Stay Filing of Joint Scheduling Report. A district court has broad discretion in determining whether a stay is appropriate. Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 706 (1997). A stay in this case at this time would not conserve judicial resources. In the event that I do not grant the Defendants' motions to dismiss, this action will be significantly behind schedule. The Parties must still file a Joint Scheduling Report while briefing on the motions is completed and while the Court considers and disposes of those motions. The Parties shall file their Joint Scheduling Report on or before September 29, 2017. Signed by Judge Marcia G. Cooke on 9/22/2017. (ase) (Entered: 09/22/2017)

Joyner, Luis Meurice, Joshua Simmons, 81 APPEAL of Magistrate Judge 80 Order on Motion to Amend/Correct,, to District Court, 80 Order on Motion to Amend/Correct,, 71 Order This Order arises from Judge Cooke's Order on Federal Defendants' Appeal of Magistrate Judge's Order [ECF No. 83], which was entered earlier today. That Order requires the Federal Defendants to file an additional declaration (as opposed to a mere letter) because the Court deemed it "necessary to render an informed decision on Plaintiffs' Emergency Motion" for a TRO.Given that ruling, the Undersigned wants to promote efficiency and prevent unnecessary briefing. Specifically, the Undersigned believes it makes sense to give Plaintiffs the opportunity to first review the required declaration before filing their reply in further support of the Emergency Motion for a TRO. If this schedule were not followed, then it is likely that Plaintiffs would request leave to file an additional sur-reply memorandum to address the declaration filed after their reply. Therefore, the Federal Defendants shall file the declaration by January 26, 2018 and Plaintiffs shall file their reply by February 2, 2018. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 1/18/2013. (JG) (Entered: 01/18/2018)

ORDER re 84 Order,,,,,,,,, regarding briefing.When the Federal Defendants file their declaration on January 26, 2018, they shall also file an amended response to the emergency motion for a TRO. The amended submission will address the new points raised in the declaration. This will promote efficiency, lead to a more-comprehensive understanding of the Parties' positions and avoid the need for additional briefing.This amended response is the one which Plaintiffs will address in their reply.
