Plaintiffs respectfully advise this Court of a recent Supreme Court filing that isrelevant to BLAG’s second motion to stay these proceedings (ECF No. 69) andPlaintiffs’ opposition thereto (ECF No. 73). As Plaintiffs noted in their opposition,when the Supreme Court granted certiorari in
United States v. Windsor
, “the Court
suasponte
raised questions about its own jurisdiction and BLAG’s standing . . . .Recognizing the importance of these questions, the Court appointed Harvard lawprofessor Vicki Jackson to brief and argue them as
amicus curiae
.” (ECF No. 73 at11.) On January 24, 2013, Professor Jackson filed her brief in
Windsor
, concludingthat (1) “BLAG lacks Article III standing” and (2) “The United States’ agreementwith the courts below (and with Windsor) deprives [the Supreme] Court of jurisdiction, because the United States suffers no injury sufficient to invoke Article III jurisdiction.” (Brief of Court-Appointed
Amica Curiae
Addressing Jurisdiction at 6,
United States v. Windsor
, No. 12-307 (S. Ct. Jan. 24, 2013)). A copy of ProfessorJackson’s brief is attached as Exhibit A.DATE: January 28, 2013 Respectfully Submitted,SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTERWILMER CUTLER PICKERING HALEAND DORR LLPBY:
