MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Pending before the Court is Defendant Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Motion for
Protective Order (the “Motion”) (Dkt. #217). While the Motion primarily concerns a discovery
dispute between two parties, the Motion also calls into question Plaintiff’s constitutional standing
to bring two “policy-or-practice” claims as included and outlined in Plaintiff’s supplemental
complaint (Dkt. #166; Dkt. 114). In the interest of a full and thorough review of the pleadings, the
Court sees fit to grant Plaintiff’s request pertaining to additional briefing and/or evidence on this
issue (Dkt. #222 at p. 3, n.3).
The Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiff Brian Huddleston to submit additional briefing
and/or evidence related to Plaintiff’s constitutional standing to bring the two relevant
“policy- or- practice” claims (Dkt. #166; Dkt. #114) within fourteen (14) days of the date of this
Order.
The Court hereby ORDERS Defendant Federal Bureau of Investigation to submit any
response to Plaintiff’s additional briefing and/or evidence within fourteen (14) days of Plaintiff’s
submission.
