`

`
`MOTION TO DIVIDE ORAL ARGUMENT TIME
`______________________________
`
`Appellees the National Association of Manufacturers, the Chamber of
`
`Commerce of the United States of America, and the Information Technology
`
`Industry Council (the Association Appellees) respectfully request that the
`
`Court divide the oral argument time currently allotted to all Appellees in
`
`
`
`
`
`USCA Case #21-5028 Document #1918950 Filed: 10/20/2021 Page 2 of 5
`
`this case, so that they and the government may argue separately. The gov-
`
`ernment consents to divided argument.
`
`1. On August 24, 2021, the Court originally scheduled oral argu-
`
`ment in this case for October 18, 2021. On unopposed motion of the Associ-
`
`ation Appellees, the Court rescheduled oral argument for November 3, 2021,
`
`so that undersigned counsel (who had a conflict with another oral argument
`
`on October 18), could participate in the argument. Doc. 1911837, at 1; see
`
`generally Doc. 1911396 (motion).
`
`2. Yesterday, the Court issued an order allocating argument time,
`
`with 15 minutes allocated to Appellees as a whole, and “[o]ne counsel per
`
`side to argue.” Doc. 1918824, at 1.
`
`3. On the understanding that the current order does not permit
`
`them to argue separately from the government, the Association Appellees
`
`therefore respectfully request divided argument in this case.
`
`4. Specifically, the Association Appellees and the government have
`
`agreed to the following division of their collective 15-minute argument time.
`
`Government Appellees: 10 minutes
`
`Association Appellees:
`
`5 minutes
`
`
`
`For the foregoing reasons, the Association Appellees respectfully re-
`
`quest that the Court permit divided argument in this case.
