#JacobvBiden Update: The court has issued civil minutes from yesterday's conference. The court has ordered:

June 3: Government's brief explaining "tiered" approach
June 4: Joint Status report due
June 5: Plaintiffs' response re: any disputed facts regarding tiered approach
June 11, 2021, 10 AM PST: further hearing "tiered" approach

Related, I have ordered the transcript from this conference and will share as soon as I receive.

Yes, we are aware that the email that #DV2021 selectees are supposed to use to submit their documents is full and no longer receiving messages. I have requested explanation from government attorneys in both #JacobvBiden and #RaivBiden.

For our #JacobvBiden plaintiffs who missed the May 20 status conference, I have just received the transcript. (Remember, next Jacob status conference is set for June 11 at 10 am PST)

#JacobvBiden Update: This afternoon, AUSA Smith filed the government's Biweekly Status Report.

#JacobvBiden Update: Gov has filed it's supplemental briefing plus exhibits, which appeared to be borrowed from their filing in the Gjoci lawsuit.

#JacobvBiden Update. We also filed a joint status report with the government last night:

#JacobvBiden Update: We have filed our response articulating facts which plaintiffs dispute concerning the tiered approach.

We've heard overwhelming appreciation of CAND court for livestreaming audio for past #JacobvBiden hearings, so I asked AUSA Valerie Smith, representing President Biden, if it's ok to livestream Friday conference also. The fate of 1,582 immigrant applicants at issue, this was her response.

Courtroom Deputy confirms Friday #JacobvBiden conference will have YouTube audio livestream.

#JacobvBiden Update: Judge Chen has issued an order on the government's motion to dismiss. Two main takeways:

(1) The Court grants the Government’s Motion to Dismiss this case as moot as it pertains to the family preference (F1, F2A, F2B, F3, F4), and IR-5 Plaintiffs.

(2) The court acknowledges that DV-2021 are situated differently, and also, that "the Court has jurisdiction to adjudicate the Motion for Class Certification for DV-2021 selectees in the instant case."
...
"The Court directs DV-2021 Plaintiffs to file a Second Amended Complaint which properly alleges a class action and directs DV-2021 Plaintiffs to file renewed Motions for Class Certification and Preliminary Injunctive Relief. DV-2021 Plaintiffs shall file the SAC and these motions by June 22, 2021."

We will be reviewing the order and options for the remainder of the week. We plan to schedule a Zoom for Monday to talk with Jacob family preference (F1, F2A, F2B, F3, F4), and IR-5 plaintiffs about our options moving forward.

#JacobvBiden #DV2021 Update: Government has filed misleading “Notice of Filing” with Judge Chen where they suggest Goodluck has 24k DV selectees as plaintiffs (it has 11k), is class action (it’s not). From perspective of Judge, Goodluck
just further demonstrates the scope of the injustice.

As the government gets more desperate, they get more stupid, too.

#JacobvBiden #DV2021Update. Just filed response to government's "notice of filing."

#JacobvBiden Update. We finally received the transcript from Friday's status conference.

#JacobvBiden #DV2021 Update. After ending today’s zoom call, I realize we didn’t record it. Sorry about that. I’ll probably schedule another one at a different time of day for those who missed in a few days.

#RosalesvBiden Update (formerly known as #JacobvBiden). Tonight we filed the second amended complaint, and renewed motions for preliminary injunction and class action.
