Trump,
Appellees
ORDER
It is ORDERED, on the court's own motion, that the following briefing schedule will
apply in this case:
Appellant's Brief

April 15, 2019

Appendix

April 15, 2019

Appellees' Brief

May 15, 2019

Appellant's Reply Brief

June 5, 2019

All issues and arguments must be raised by appellant in the opening brief. The court
ordinarily will not consider issues and arguments raised for the first time in the reply brief.
To enhance the clarity of their briefs, the parties are cautioned to limit the use of
abbreviations, including acronyms. While acronyms may be used for entities and statutes
with widely recognized initials, briefs should not contain acronyms that are not widely
known. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures 41 (2018); Notice
Regarding Use of Acronyms (D.C. Cir. Jan. 26, 2010).
Parties are strongly encouraged to hand deliver the paper copies of their briefs to the
Clerk's office on the date due. Filing by mail could delay the processing of the brief.
Additionally, parties are reminded that if filing by mail, they must use a class of mail that is
at least as expeditious as first-class mail. See Fed. R. App. P. 25(a). All briefs and
appendices must contain the date that the case is scheduled for oral argument at the top of
the cover, or state that the case is being submitted without oral argument. See D.C. Cir.
Rule 28(a)(8).

NOTICE TO COUNSEL:
SCHEDULING ORAL ARGUMENT
The court has entered an order setting a briefing schedule in a case in which you
are counsel of record. Once a briefing order has been entered, the case may be set
for oral argument.
You will be notified by separate order of the date and time of oral argument.
Once a case has been calendared, the Clerk’s Office cannot change the argument
date, and ordinarily the court will not reschedule it. Any request to reschedule
must be made by motion, which will be presented to a panel of the court for
disposition. The court disfavors motions to postpone oral argument and will grant
such a motion only upon a showing of "extraordinary cause." See D.C. Cir. Rule
34(g).
If you are the arguing counsel, and you will be unavailable to appear for oral
argument on a date in the future, so advise the Clerk’s Office by letter, filed
electronically. The notification should be filed as soon as possible and updated if
a potential scheduling conflict arises later, or if there is any change in availability.
To the extent possible, the Clerk’s Office will endeavor to schedule oral argument
to avoid conflicts that have been brought to the court’s attention in advance. See
D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures at IX.A.1, XI.A.
Counsel must notify the court when serious settlement negotiations are
underway, when settlement of the case becomes likely, and when settlement is
reached. Such notice allows for more efficient allocation of judicial resources.
Additionally, counsel should promptly notify the court if settlement negotiations
are terminated. Notice must be given in an appropriate motion or by letter to the
Clerk at the earliest possible moment. See, e.g., D.C. Circuit Handbook of
Practice and Internal Procedures at X.D., XI.A.
