APPELLEES’ OPPOSITION TO APPELLANTS’ SECOND “EMERGENCYPETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS”
Appellees, by and through their undersigned counsel, herewith submit theirOpposition to Appellants’ second “Emergency Petition for Writ of Mandamus.”At the outset, Appellees incorporate by reference, as though set forth in fullherein, their Opposition to Appellants’ “Emergency Petition for Writ of Mandamus,” filed with this Court on November 7, 2011.As that document and its appendices demonstrate, neither of Appellants’Petitions have any merit, and should be denied forthwith. The fundamentalpremise underlying Appellants’ arguments in their Petitions is that this case cannotbe decided absent their examination of President Obama’s birth certificate.Nothing could be further from the truth. This Court can, and should, decide thiscase on the grounds set forth in Appellees’ Answering Brief, filed herein onOctober 13, 2010, and the oral arguments made by Appellees’ counsel, neither of which concerned the authenticity of President Obama’s birth certificate.DATED: November 8, 2011.Respectfully submitted,ANDRÉ BIROTTE JR.United States AttorneyLEON W.
