OREGON REPUBLICAN PARTYS
MOTION APPEAR AMI CI CURI AE
____________________________________________________

The Oregon Republican Party hereby seeks leave, pursuant to Rule
8.15 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure, to appear as amicus curiae in the
above-captioned case.
The Oregon Republican Party is major political party within the
meaning of ORS Chapter 248, and holds the powers thereof as specified in

2
ORS 248.004 and otherwise. The Oregon Republican Party does not seek to
vindicate any interest in which particular faction of the Libertarian Party of
Oregon is identified by the Secretary of State to appear on Oregon ballots, but
seeks to present its own private interest, and the public interest, in securing
judicial review of conduct by party officials assertedly in violation of a partys
governing documents.
A proposed brief amicus curiae is filed herewith.
Dated: October 15, 2014.

Respectfully submitted,
