The parties' proposal for the filing of consolidated briefs is adopted. Respondent in No. 25-406 and petitioner in No. 25-567 shall file a consolidated opening brief on the merits pursuant to Rule 25.1 and a consolidated reply brief on the merits pursuant to Rule 25.3. Petitioners in No. 25-406 and respondents in No. 25-567 shall file a consolidated response brief on the merits pursuant to Rule 25.2. VIDED.
Letter of the Solicitor General on behalf of all parties proposing consolidated briefing structure filed. VIDED.
Petition GRANTED. The petition for a writ of certiorari in No. 25-567 is granted. The cases are consolidated, and a total of one hour is allotted for oral argument. VIDED.
Because the Court has consolidated these cases for briefing and oral argument, future filings and activity in the cases will now be reflected on the docket of No. 25-406. Subsequent filings in these cases must therefore be submitted through the electronic filing system in No. 25-406. Each document submitted in connection with one or more of these cases must include on its cover the case number and caption for each case in which the filing is intended to be submitted. Where a filing is submitted in fewer than all of the cases, the docket entry will reflect the case number(s) in which the filing is submitted; a document filed in all of the consolidated cases will be noted as “VIDED.”
Waiver of the 14-day waiting period for the distribution of the petition pursuant to Rule 15.5 filed by petitioners.
