COURT’S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff United States of America (“DOJ”) hereby requests additional time to respond to

19 the Court’s December 3, 2018 Order to Show Cause Whether the Court Should Find That the
20 City Has Failed to Maintain Full and Effective Compliance with the Consent Decree. (Dkt. 504)
21

(“Show Cause Order”). As DOJ indicated when the tentative agreement between the Seattle

22
23

Police Officer’s Guild (“SPOG”) and the City of Seattle was before this Court, once the final

24 collective bargaining agreement between SPOG and the City of Seattle (“CBA”) was signed,
25 DOJ would engage in discussions with the City of Seattle and review related documents and
26 information in order to assess the possibility of any impact of the CBA on the Consent Decree
27

that governs this litigation. To that end, DOJ began requesting and receiving information from

1 the City immediately after the passage of the CBA. DOJ has also begun conversations with the
2 City about the Adley Shepherd arbitration decision, the status of its appeal, and its relationship to
3
the standards of review contained in the CBA. Indeed, much of the information being sought by

4
5

DOJ on these topics is the same information requested by the Court in its Show Cause Order. In

6 light of that, DOJ believes that being able to review the City’s brief (to be filed on December 17,
7 2018) prior to providing its own analysis and position would allow for a more substantive and
8
informed response to the Court’s questions. DOJ has conferred with the City and the Parties

9
10

agree that allowing the City to brief these issues first, with a responsive brief by DOJ, would

11 allow for the most sensible presentation to the Court. Thus, the City supports this request to
12 amend the briefing schedule, provided the City is permitted to file a reply brief within one week
13

of DOJ’s response. Accordingly, DOJ respectfully requests that the Court extend DOJ’s

14
15

deadline from being concurrently filed with the City’s brief on December 17, 2018, to being

16 responsively filed on January 9, 2019, with a reply brief from the City due January 16, 2019.
