Manuel de Jesus Ortega Melendr, Et Al v. Maricopa County, Apppeal Doc 21

Dennis Montgomery opposes the appellees' request for an extension to file their answering brief. Montgomery argues that the appellees have had ample time and opportunity since August 2015 to prepare their brief responding to the same factual and legal issues. Granting an extension would allow the appellees to delay the case until the presiding judge has issued his opinion, effectively achieving through delay what they cannot obtain on the merits. Montgomery requests that the court deny the extension and require the appellees to submit their answering brief by the original deadline of December 21, 2015.

Case: 15-16626, 11/30/2015, ID: 9773423, DktEntry: 21, Page 2 of 6

Appellant opposes the Streamlined Request for Extension of Time to file an


Answering Brief from the Appellees (Plaintiffs in the court below). This Court on
October 26, 2015 (Dkt # 5), had previously ordered the filing of the Answering by
December 21, 2015. Appellants opening brief was filed on November 20, 2015.
The presiding judge in the case below is writing his opinion. The case is
going to be over. Appellants are merely seeking to run out the clock and achieve
by delay results that they cannot obtain on the merits under the law.
Appellees have had abundant time and opportunity since filing their August
20, 2015, opposition to the motion to stay to be able to prepare an answering brief
on the same factual events and legal issues by December 21, 2015. The factual
events and issues in this Appeal No. 15-16626 are the same as Appeal No. 1516440. Appellant previously filed a motion for stay on August 10, 2015, in Appeal
No. 15-16440 which fully apprised the Appellees of all the issues. Appellees filed
their opposition to the motion to stay on August 20, 2015. Similarly, the Appellees
also briefed and addressed many of the issues in their replies in this Circuit in
Arpaio v. U.S. District Court, Appeal No. 15-72440, in Dkt. #9 on August 20,
2015, and Dkt. # 11 on September 3, 2015.
Therefore, the Appellees now still have 21 days in which to file an
answering brief by December 21, 2015. This is plenty of time. There is no reason
for delay under these extreme circumstances. To allow further delay will work

manifest injustice, as the case will be over by the time this Court reaches decision.
