Jardines, 569 U.S. 1 (2013)). The briefing does not address, however, the Ninth Circuit’s discussion in United States v. Lundin, 817 F.3d 1151, 1158–60 (2016), nor does it discuss the application of RCW § 10.99.030 and RCW § 10.31.100. In light of Lundin and the above statutes, the Court ORDERS supplemental briefing on this issue. Defendants’ brief must not exceed 2,100 words and must be filed by 5:00 p.m. on September 13, 2024. l Plaintiffs’ brief must not exceed 2,100 words and must be filed by 5:00 p.m. on September 20, 2024.
