on a weekly and even daily basis in the case below. The underlying case was
concluded by final judgment on October 2, 2013. (Docs. No. 606, 670.)
As one important example, on July 20, 2015, the presiding judge, the
Honorable G. Murray Snow of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona
(District Court) granted a civil motion by the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ)
to turn over to the U.S. Government the very same documents, data, and things that
the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada had already ordered DoJ to return
to Montgomery once before. See, Transcript, July 20, 2015, Status Conference,
Melendres v. Arpaio, Page 42-53, primarily Page 53 (Emphases added); Order,
July 24, 2015. (Docket No. 1190.)

Judge Snow did not order seizure documents and things relevant to the
Melendres v. Arpaio case. Judge Snow ordered that all documents relating to
Montgomery be indiscriminately seized and distributed to Plaintiffs counsel, nonparty counsel, and to the DoJ, explicitly acknowledging they might be irrelevant.
Evidentiary hearings (Order, January 16, 2015, Page 2, Doc. No. 856) will
reconvene September 22nd through 25th and September 29th through October 2nd,
2015. Minute Order, July 20, 2015 (Doc. No. 1179). Judge Snow has also
scheduled regular interim hearings at which he typically issues orders, often
without providing notice or due process, and often affecting Montgomery.
As a result, emergency treatment of Montgomerys motion to stay is
required.

INTRODUCTION
Montgomery respectfully moves this U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit (Ninth Circuit) to stay the proceedings. Judge Snow admitted on July 20,
2015, that orders he has issued and continues to issue could be vacated if he later is
recused. Transcript, July 20, 2015, Status Conference, Melendres v. Arpaio, Pages
62-64, attached as Exhibit 12. It will be impossible to put the genie back in the
bottle if the case is not stayed.
Montgomery seeks to intervene solely to protect his legal and property
rights, which are being run roughshod on by Judge Snow without an opportunity
for him to protect his rights, assert his interests, receive due process, or be heard.
On July 15, 2015, Montgomery filed his Notice of Appeal (Docket No.
1173) appealing from the trial courts -a) Order of May 14, 2015 (Docket No. 1093) denying Pro Hac

constitutional rights. (Doc. No. 1117-1, Ex. 9., 5/14/15; Transcript at 49:15-21, 51,
56), attached as Exhibit 11.
It would be impractical for Montgomery to also file a motion for a stay in
the trial court because Judge Snow refused to allow his counsel to enter the case
pro hac vice and for him to intervene in the case.
However, a motion to stay in the trial court below awaiting appeal (Docket
No. 1171) was filed by Defendant Sheriff Joe Arpaio (Arpaio) and Chief Deputy
Gerard Sheridan (Sheridan) (specially appearing) of Arizonas MCSO. On July
20, 2015, by a Minute Order at (Docket No. 1179), Judge Snow denied the motion.
III.
party Sheridan filed a petition for writ of mandamus on August 6, 2015, requiring
Judge Snows recusal. The petition is Joseph Arpaio and Gerard Sheridan v. U.S.
District Court for the District of Arizona and Manuel de Jesus Ortega Melendres,
Case No. 15-72440.
Montgomery concurs in and agrees with Arpaios and Sheridans petition,
joins in their petition for the recusal of Judge Snow, and incorporates Arpaios and
Sheridans petition in all respects as if set forth herein in support of his motion for
a stay the case, and also in support of his appeal directly.

mentioned in the case below. Yet in the evidentiary hearing April 21-24, Judge
Snow expanded the case, and sua sponte started attacking Montgomery. See,
Transcript, April 23, 2015, attached as Exhibit 1, Pages 644:11-660:17.
Judge Snow then denied Montgomerys motions seeking to receive due
process, notice, and an opportunity to be heard guaranteed by the Fifth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution concerning his property and the due process
clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. See Order, May 14,

Ed. 2d 1045 (1990). A persons right to retain counsel of his choice therefore
represents 'a right of constitutional dimension' U.S. v. Cunningham, 672 F.2d
1064, 1070 (2d Cir.1982) (citing U.S. v. Wisniewski, 478 F.2d 274, 285 (2d
Cir.1973)), the denial of which may rise to the level of a constitutional violation.
Birt v. Montgomery, 725 F.2d 587, 592 (11th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 469 U.S.
874, 105 S.Ct. 232, 83 L.Ed.2d 161 (1984); Wilson, 761 F.2d at 278-79. The right
to retain counsel of choice stems from ones right to decide what kind of case he
wishes to present. U.S. v. Nichols, 841 F.2d 1485, 1502 (10th Cir.1988).
Attorneys are not fungible and often the most important decision a
defendant makes in shaping his defense is his selection of an attorney. U.S. v.
Laura, 607 F.2d 52, 56 (3d Cir.1979); Nichols, 841 F.2d at 1502; Glasser v. U.S.,
315 U.S. 60, 75, 62 S.Ct. 457, 467, 86 L.Ed. 680 (1942).
Judge Snow denied Moseleys application to be admitted Pro Hac Vice on
unsupported speculation that there could be a conflict of interest. But the record
does not contain any basis for disqualification. Moseley filed a Clarification of
Motion for Admittance Pro Hac Vice of Jonathon A. Moseley, dated May 13,
2015, (Docs. No. 1080, 1081) stating that (emphasis added):
Neither Dennis L. Montgomery nor his counsel are

(B) has a claim or defense that shares with the main
action a common question of law or fact.
Montgomerys motion is timely. The case started to involve Montgomery
only in late April of 2015. Montgomery filed his motion within two weeks.
Montgomery also complied with FRCP Rule 24(c) by providing notice and a
proposed pleading.
3) Motion for Disqualification of Judge Snow
Montgomery has a substantial likelihood of prevailing on his motion for
recusal, as does Arpaio and Sheridan in their related petition for writ of mandamus
also requesting recusal. Montgomery filed his affidavit under 28 U.S.C. 144 on
May 7, 2015 (Docket No. 1067), and in that pleading also further claimed
essentially the same additional grounds requiring recusal of Judge Snow under 28
U.S.C. 455 as raised by Arpaio and Sheridan.
Accordingly, Montgomery joins in and agrees with the petition by Arpaio
and Sheridan in their arguments for recusal of Judge Snow, and incorporates their
petition by reference herein for the purposes of this motion for a stay.
Montgomery is in agreement with the Defendants Arpaio and Sheridan, but
adds an additional demand for recusal under 28 U.S.C. 144 and also moves this
Court to vacate Judge Snows orders issued while a conflict of interest exists,
particularly as they relate to Dennis Montgomery.

9646951, DktEntry: 6, Page 26

427
The demands for recusal are timely. Most of the circumstances requiring
recusal were created by Judge Snow himself starting only on April 23, 2015.
The courts strive to eliminate even the appearance of bias. Thus even if
there is no bias in fact, an appearance of bias or prejudice requires recusal if it is
sufficient to raise a question in the mind of 'the average citizen' about a judge's
impartiality. York v. United States, 785 A.2d 651, 655 (D.C. 2001).
Judge Snow decided to make himself, his wife, and Montgomery major
topics. Arpaios lawyers filed an objection to procedures and on the last page also
to Judge Snow questioning Defendant Arpaio on areas on which he did not
receive prior notice. (Docket No. 1032, April 28, 2015.) Judge Snow then ruled
that his questioning about the Grissom Investigation (Judge Snows wife) and
the Seattle operation (Dennis Montgomery) will not be excluded. (Docket No.
1046, May 4, 2015.) Judge Snow injected personal issues into the case on April
23 and April 24, 2015. See, Motion for Recusal or Disqualification of District
Court Judge G. Murray Snow, May 22, 2015, Pages 8-9. (Docket No. 1117).
Montgomery filed an affidavit and certificate under 28 U.S.C. 144
Whenever a party to any proceeding in a district court
makes and files a timely and sufficient affidavit that the
judge before whom the matter is pending has a personal
bias or prejudice either against him or in favor of any
adverse party, such judge shall proceed no further
therein, but another judge shall be assigned to hear such
proceeding. The affidavit shall state the facts and the
reasons for the belief that bias or prejudice exists.

litigation to embarrass Arpaio in his re-election to remove him from office. Judge
Snow invited the U.S. Attorney to send a prosecutor to monitor this civil case.
The Grissoms have never wavered in their account. The Grissoms are by
their own report and from the investigation non-political, uninterested witnesses
who have never had any relationship with or support for Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Karen
Grissoms recollection in the transcript is the most detailed and specific because, as
Dale Grissom and Scott Grissom report in the transcript, the women were primarily
talking to each other catching up on their lives since their childhood acquaintance.
See, Interview Transcripts, id.
Judge Snow has personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts
concerning the proceeding. Judge Snow will have or already does have a private
explanation from his own wife of these disputed facts and events.
Judge Snow has made clear that he insists on pursuing the Karen Grissom /
Cheri Snow and the Montgomery investigation as proving some allegations (not
yet identified) against the Defendants in the case below. Judge Snow over-ruled
the Defendants objections to exclude the topics. (Docket No. 1046.)
Therefore, any defense attorney must call Judge Snow and Judge Snows
wife as witnesses in order to present a thorough defense to whatever charges Judge
Snow plans to bring. Judge Snow is likely to preside over the testimony and crossexamination of his own wife, (Docket No. 1117), who will be testifying about him.

427
Judge Snow simultaneously refuses to exclude the topics, yet claims that his
wife would not offer admissible testimony. These are inextricably linked. Judge
Snows insistence, over objection, that the proceedings below must include the
investigation into what his wife said about Judge Snow being biased necessarily
causes his wifes testimony to become relevant. Without Cheri Snows testimony,
charges or allegations against the Defendants for investigating Karen Grissoms tip
about what Cheri Snow said could not be sustained as relevant issues in the case.

Procedure and the continuing jurisdiction over and inherent authority of the Court over the matter,
Movant asks for reconsideration of the Courts Order of May 14, 2015, based on errors of fact and
7 law.
8
On May 14, 2015, the Court denied the motion of Dennis Montgomery and Jonathon
9 Moseley for Jonathon Moseley to be admitted pro hac vice to represent Dennis Montgomery. The
10 Court cited an alleged but unidentified conflict of interest as the basis for denying the pro hac vice
11
12
13
14
admittance.
Merely reciting, as the Court apparently did, that Jonathon Moseley and Larry Klayman, the
head of Freedom Watch, also represent Sheriff Arpaio in another case does not establish a conflict
15 of interest. Thus, the Court made a reversible error of fact and law.
16
To the contrary, responding to the Courts questions on May 8, 2015, Movant filed a
17 Clarification of Motion for Admittance Pro Hac Vice of Jonathon A. Moseley, dated May 13,
18 2015. Movant stated to the Court in that filing that
19
Neither Dennis L. Montgomery nor his counsel are adverse to Sheriff Arpaio, his
20 deputies, the Cold Case Posse, or MCSO in any respect, particularly since this
case involves a contempt proceeding over allegations of profiling illegal
21 immigrants. [Dkt. #1080].
22
23
24
25
26
No party has formally filed any pleading asserting, with established facts, that the Movant as
counsel for Dennis Montgomery has any conflict of interest. As a result, the record does not
contain any basis for not admitting Movant pro hac vice. There are no allegations nor facts
whatsoever in the record to establish any conflict of interest, particularly since Freedom Watchs
27 representation of Sheriff Arpaio in other cases, which is to enjoin President Obamas executive

actions granting amnesty to over 5 million illegal immigrants, that this does not show any conflict
2 of interest. (Arpaio v. Obama, No. 14-5325 (D.C. Cir.); Texas v. Untied States, No. 14-254 (S.D.
3 Tex)). To the contrary, it clearly shows a unity of interests.

In the matter before this Court, Movant and Freedom Watch do not intend to challenge any
testimony by Sheriff Arpaio, his deputies, the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office (MCSO), or the
Cold Case Posse. Also, it is Movant and Freedom Watchs expressed position that the issue of the
credibility of Dennis Montgomery is not properly before this Court, so there is no need to take
any adverse position to prior testimony here. And, Mr. Montgomery does not intend to do so in any
10 event.
11
In addition, Dennis Montgomery is not seeking to take any position with regard any other
12 issues remaining in the post-judgment proceedings in this case or the testimony involving the
13
14
15
16
17 and attorney-client privilege and his proprietary rights. The U.S. District Court for the District of
18 Nevada has already ruled that (1) the data and intellectual property belongs to Dennis Montgomery,
19 (2) none of the data or information is classified, (3) the U.S. Government was required to return all
20 of the data and information to Dennis Montgomery, and (4) the U.S. Government deceived that
21
22
23
24
Court in falsely claiming that the data, information, and/or intellectual property did not belong to
Dennis Montgomery and/or was classified. See Dennis Montgomery and the Montgomery Family

Attorneys are not fungible and often the most important decision a defendant makes in
shaping his defense is his selection of an attorney. United States v. Laura, 607 F.2d 52, 56 (3d

99 L.Ed. 4 (1954) (a defendant must be given a reasonable opportunity to employ and consult with
25 counsel; otherwise the right to be heard by counsel would be of little worth); Glasser v. United

therefore represents 'a right of constitutional dimension' United States v. Cunningham, 672 F.2d
1064, 1070 (2d Cir.1982) (citing United States v. Wisniewski, 478 F.2d 274, 285 (2d Cir.1973)), the
denial of which may rise to the level of a constitutional violation. Birt v. Montgomery, 725 F.2d
587, 592 (11th Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 874, 105 S.Ct. 232, 83 L.Ed.2d 161 (1984);
Dennis Montgomery has a right to choose those attorneys whom he believes will be
12 knowledgeable enough about his circumstances to represent him effectively and meaningfully. This
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
chosen attorney pro hac vice is for it to avoid ruling upon the motion for recusal or disqualification
of The Honorable G. Murray Snow from the remaining alleged ongoing contempt proceeding.
However, even in the absence of any motion, the Code of Conduct for United States Judges and 28
21 U.S.C. 455 require Judge Snow, sua sponte, to recuse himself or be disqualified from the case.
22 See Motions to Disqualify and Intervene attached at Docket Entries 1057, 1067.
23
As reported by Karen and Dale Grissom and their son Scott, Judge Snows wife declared
24 that Judge Snow has a personal bias against Sheriff Joe Arpaio and will do anything to get
25
26
27
[Arpaio] out of office. As Karen Morris Grissom communicated to Sheriff Arpaio closest in time
through a message over Facebook, attached as Exhibit 1:

Judge Snow I know his wife and I talked with her one day she
recognized me from our childhood she told me that her husband
hates u and will do anything to get u out of office. This has
bothered me since last year when I saw her.
Neither Judge Snow nor his wife have denied the statement or sought to explain it. To the
contrary, the statements by Judge Snows wife were confirmed by interviews by Don Vogel in
6 October 2013. See Exhibit 2, attached. More recently, in interviews with the media, Karen and
7 Dale Grissom again confirmed Judge Snows wifes statements. See, Exhibit 3, attached.

13
As set forth in Canon 2(B) and Canon 3(C)(1) of the Code of Conduct for United States
Judges and 28 U.S.C. 455(a), Judge Snow's impartiality may reasonably be questioned, because
the Judge has a personal interest in the statements about himself by his own wife and in running an
inquiry about investigations of his own wife and himself, and also, according to Professor Rotunda,
because the transcript indicates Judge Snow investigated matters on his own outside of the
16 because he has personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding, and he
17
18
19
20
and his wife are material witnesses who, if this matter continues any longer, will to be called
themselves as witnesses by one or more of the parties. Judge Snow has undoubtedly already spoken
to his wife about the prejudicial admission she made about the judge wanting to destroy Sheriff
21 Arpaios relection chances. Judge Snow has also admitted conducting his own investigations
22 outside of court, without any knowledge of the parties. Judge Snow has thus admittedly cast himself
23 as the U.S. Attorney, the judge, the jury and as the final arbiter of fact, on serious matters involving
24 himself and his wife. Therefore, as Judge Snow has personal knowledge of the facts and they are
25
26
27
not in dispute he has thrust himself into being not just all of the above, but also a material witness
along with his wife. This is untenable and highly unethical if Judge Snow continues on to preside on

this case and issue orders, as he has even after being asked to recuse himself.
Under 455(a) and Canons 2 and 3, a judge must recuse himself if a reasonable person with
3 knowledge of all the facts would conclude that his impartiality might reasonably be questioned."
4 United States v. Nelson, 718 F .2d 315, 321 (9th Cir. 1983). Disqualification or recusal is required

when there is even the appearance that the court's impartiality may be called into question, and
"could suggest, to an outside observer, such a 'high degree of favoritism or antagonism' to
defendants' position that 'fair judgment is impossible.' Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 555,
127 L. Ed. 2d 474, 114 S. Ct. 1147 (1994));
Here, the average citizen will assume that Judge Snows wife and Judge Snow himself will
11 actually know if Judge Snow hates Sheriff Arpaio and will do anything to get [Arpaio] out of
12 office. If Judge Snows wife is correct, then Judge Snow cannot preside over the case. The
13
14
15
16

Supreme Court has held that a violation of section 28 U.S.C. 455(a) takes place even if the judge
is unaware of the circumstance that created the appearance of impropriety. Liljeberg v. Health
Services Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 847 (1988).
The U.S. Courts of Appeals for the First, Fifth, Sixth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits have said
18 that close questions should be decided in favor of recusal. See Republic of Pan. v. American
19 Tobacco Co., 217 F.3d 343, 347 (5th Cir. 2000) (citing In re Chevron, 121 F.3d 163, 165 (5th Cir.
20 1997)); In re United States, 158 F.3d 26, 30 (1st Cir. 1998); Nichols v. Alley, 71 F.3d 347, 352 (10th

Cir. 1995); United States v. Dandy, 998 F.2d 1344, 1349 (6th Cir. 1993); United States v. Kelly, 888
F.2d 732, 744 (11th Cir. 1989).
In short, Judge Snow must either recuse himself or be disqualified from this case, as he has
25 so infected the proceeding with his and his wifes personal interests, that he cannot continue under
26 any circumstances.

CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the Court should reconsider and reverse its decision and approve

Exhibit 3
Page 1 of 3
Dale Grissom never expected his family to be caught up in a federal court case involving Maricopa County
Sheriff Joe Arpaio. But thanks to a craving for Mexican food on a summer day back in 2012, they are now key
figures in Arpaio's civil contempt hearing.
Dale Grissom never expected his family to be caught up in a federal court case involving Maricopa County
Sheriff Joe Arpaio (/topic/joe-arpaio/).
But here they are, thanks to a craving for Mexican food from their favorite restaurant, Someburros, back in
summer 2012.
The events of that day led to an important disclosure during civil-contempt proceedings last month against
(Photo: Michael Schennum/The
Republic)
Arpaio in U.S. District Court. Under questioning by Judge G. Murray Snow, Arpaio confirmed a probe into
remarks allegedly made to the Grissoms by the judge's wife at the restaurant.
The contempt hearings have focused on the defiance by Arpaio and others of Snow's orders in an ongoing racial-profiling lawsuit.
Snow's questioning of Arpaio left the man of many words nearly speechless and thrust the Grissoms into the middle of a high-stakes political and legal
drama.
"It just blew up a couple of weeks ago like kapow," said Grissom, speaking publicly for the first time about the case from behind a screen door as the
nightly news blared on TV in his south Phoenix home.
"We just thought, 'Wow what happened here? And we've been following it right along. We're not trying to hide anything, we're just telling the truth, and
that's the way it was, and that's what she said, and hey, whatever happens, happens."
PREVIOUSLY: Attorneys prep for 2nd bout of Arpaio contempt hearings in June (/story/news/local/phoenix/2015/05/07/sheriff-joe-arpaio-contempthearings-secound-bout-june/70931926/)
The judge's wife, Cheri Snow, declined comment when reached by phone Thursday.
About a month after their lunch-time encounter at Someburros, Snow presided over the start of a trial to weigh allegations that Arpaio's office engaged in
a pattern of discriminatory policing.
Dale said that he and his family sat at a table just a few feet from Cheri. He said Cheri began talking to Karen, confusing her with Karen's sister, an
acquaintance of Cheri's from their childhood days in Yuma.
"She was talking to my wife and I don't even know how it got brought up," recalled Dale, 66. "And I heard them start talking about Sheriff Joe and how her
husband wanted him out and didn't want him back in office again, and that's kind of where it went, then they talked about school.
"I didn't pay attention. As soon as that came up, that stuck to me, and I thought, 'How rude is that? Why is this guy, a federal judge, telling his wife he
doesn't want Sheriff Joe back in office and why is she out telling people?' "
The Grissoms returned home and didn't think much of Cheri's remarks until May 2013, when they heard that her husband had ruled Arpaio and his
deputies violated the constitutional rights of Hispanics by targeting them during raids and traffic stops.
Dale says he's not a die-hard Arpaio fan or critic, saying, "There's a lot of things where he kind of goes overboard, but I think he's a good sheriff."
But news of Snow's decision upset his wife in light of Cheri's alleged comments, Dale recalled. (Karen would not come to the front door to speak to The
Arizona Republic.)
"It went on and on and on, and it just got to bothering her and she said, 'I think they need to know,' " Dale remembered.

investigations, and turn over Bates-stamped copies to the Plaintiffs and the Monitor by
the May 8, 2015 status conference. The Court notes that counsel for Defendants were
present and conducting a review for privilege contemporaneously with the initial
disclosure of documents to the Monitor. Counsel has now had over a week to continue
this process. No further production has apparently occurred, however, since the date of
this Courts initial orders on April 23 and 24. The process set forth by the Court with
evidence and non-compliance with orders relating to document discovery. Defendants are
to promptly respond to all related future requests for documents by the Monitor by either
10
producing the materials sought or seeking an appropriate protective order from the Court.
11
Second, Defendants contention that Sheriff Arpaios due process rights were
12
implicated by the April 23, 2015 colloquy with the Court is untimely and without merit.
13
The Court notes at the outset that Defendants have requested no specific relief stemming
14
from this objection. The Federal Rules of Evidence extend to the Court the right to
15
participate in questioning, and even call its own, witnesses. Fed. R. Evid. 614. The Court
16
also has inherent power to compel testimony, concomitant with its authority to police
17
litigants whose actions show bad faith or the intent to hamper enforcement of court
18
orders. See Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 46 (1991). Furthermore, incident to
19
their responsibility to ensure the fairness of the process for all parties, trial courts have an
20
obligation to clarify the evidence presented and ensure that all facts relevant to the
21
proceedings are brought out. United States v. Parker, 241 F.3d 1114, 1119 (9th Cir.

appropriate when one party has restricted the others ability to develop an evidentiary

25
Neither Sheriff Arpaios civil nor criminal counsel objected to the examination at
26
the time, and counsel for Defendants elicited testimony on the same subject matter from
27
Chief Deputy Sheridan the following day. Defendants offer no precedent for their
28
assertion that a fact witness in a legal proceeding is entitled to notice of all questions that

EVIDENITIARY HEARING OF

17
On May 22, 2015, Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, and non-party contemnor Chief Deputy
18
Gerard Sheridan filed a Motion for Recusal/Motion to Disqualify Judge. (Doc. 1117.) In
19
light of this Motion, this Court issued an order vacating the three status conferences set
20
for May 29, June 5 and June 12, 2015. It further indicated that it shall issue no further
21
orders until the motion has been briefed and/or a ruling has been issued. (Doc. 1120.)
22
Neither Defendants Motion nor this Courts May 22, 2015 Order suspended or
23
called into question any of the Courts previous orders. Specifically, the Order did not
24
suspend the responsibilities of Defendants or the Monitor as are set forth in the
25

thereto, which enforce the terms of this Courts findings of facts and conclusions of law
27
and which have been upheld in virtually all respects by the Ninth Circuit Court of
28
Appeals. See Melendres v. Arpaio, No. 13-16285, 2015 WL 1654550, at *10 (9th Cir.

Apr. 15, 2015). The Courts May 22 Order merely aims to preserve the status quo vis-vis the civil contempt proceedings that were scheduled to resume in mid-June until the
Court rules on Defendants Motion. Nevertheless, after Defendants filed their Motion,
counsel for MCSO and Sheriff Arpaio contacted the Monitor to state that [b]ased on the
Courts Order . . . the Melendres case is stayed until a decision is made regarding the
Motion to Recuse or Motion to Disqualify (Doc. 1117). Therefore, the Monitors . . . site
visits scheduled are stayed as well. The Monitor had a regular monitoring site visit and
community meeting, as required by the terms of the Supplemental Permanent Injunction,
scheduled for the following week. To avoid confrontation, the Monitor cancelled its
scheduled site visit and community meeting. Nothing about the Courts May 22 order
suggested such a cancellation.
Nevertheless, until the Court rules on Defendants Motion, the Monitor shall not
seek to conduct independent investigations within the MCSO relating to the subjects of
Order to Show Cause. This does not affect, however, the Monitors authority to act
pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Permanent Injunction or other self-enforcing
orderse.g., those that do not require further action from this Court. In supervising
administrative investigations undertaken by the MCSO that bear relation to the
constitutional rights of the Plaintiff class, including those investigations that may have
been triggered by events also relevant to the civil contempt hearing (such as those arising
from the posthumous inquiry into Deputy Armendariz), the IA Monitors act pursuant to
the terms of the Supplemental Permanent Injunction and self-enforcing provisions of this
Courts November 20, 2014 Order. (See Doc. 795, amended by Doc. 825.) Should the
Court be required to enter additional orders to preserve the relative positions of the
Parties in the interim period, it will vacate its previous Order (Doc. 1120).
In addition, the Court has received Defendants objection to the United States
Department of Justices examination of the documents that were allegedly harvested from
the Central Intelligence Agency and provided to Defendants by Dennis Montgomery.
(Doc. 1138.) Therefore, the Monitor shall not cooperate with the DOJ on a voluntary

Lastly, the Court has received the Parties stipulation that Plaintiffs Response to
the Motion for Recusal will be filed by June 12, and Defendants Reply will be filed by
June 22. Because those dates continue up through the dates held for the continued
contempt proceedings, the Court hereby VACATES the evidentiary hearing scheduled
for June 16-19; 23-26, 2015. This matter will be reset following the resolution of
Defendants Motion.

In early May 2015, the Court received an Application of Attorney for Admission
18
to Practice Pro Hac Vice from Mr. Jonathan A. Moseley, who practices in Virginia. The
19
application was accompanied by a two page letter dated May 2, 2015 and a three page

23
Following a status conference at which Mr. Moseley was invited to appear telephonically
24
in support of his request for admission pro hac vice, and at which he did not appear, the
25
Court denied Mr. Moseleys application. (See Doc. 1093.) Mr. Moseley now moves for
26
reconsideration of his application for admission on the grounds that (1) the record does
27
not reflect the existence of any conflict of interest between Mr. Moseleys representation

of Sheriff Joseph Arpaio in another action and his intended representation of Mr.

Montgomery in this case; (2) Mr. Montgomerys Sixth Amendment right to counsel
would be violated if Mr. Moseley is unable to represent him pro hac vice; and (3) the
Court should recuse itself. (Doc. 1112.) Mr. Montgomery has since filed three
supplements to this Motion. (Docs. 1140, 1160, 1161.)
Local Rule of Civil Procedure 7.2(g) provides that a party seeking reconsideration
of a ruling shall, in that motion, point out with specificity the matters that the movant
believes were overlooked or misapprehended by the Court, any new matters being
brought to the Courts attention for the first time and the reasons they were not presented
earlier, and any specific modifications being sought in the Courts Order. The movant
may not repeat any argument previously made in support of the motion that resulted in
the challenged order. L.R. Civ. 7.2(g). Motions for reconsiderations are disfavored, and
will ordinarily not be granted absent a showing of manifest error or a showing of new
facts or legal authority that could not have been brought to its attention earlier with
reasonable diligence. Id.; Morgal v. Maricopa Cnty. Bd. of Supervisors, No. CIV-070670-PHX-RCB, 2012 WL 2368478, at *1 (D. Ariz. June 21, 2012) (noting motions for
reconsideration should be granted only in rare circumstances). As with all motions,
failure to comply with the local rules of procedure are grounds for denial of the motion.
L.R. Civ. 7.2(g).
As a preliminary matter, Mr. Moseleys challenge of the Courts articulated
concern that his admission could create a conflict of interest fails to advance any grounds
different from those contained in his Clarification of Motion for Admittance Pro Hac
Vice, filed prior to the Court heard argument on his application for admission. (See Doc.
1080); L.R. Civ. 7.2(g) (No motion for reconsideration of an Order may repeat any . . .
argument made by the movant in support of or in opposition to the motion that resulted in
the Order.). Moreover, his Motion for Reconsideration does not address the issues raised
at the status conference the Court held in these matters on May 14, 2015, at which Mr.
Moseleys application was discussed and, ultimately, denied.1 Under the Arizona Rules

issues reflect the truthfulness of testimony offered in this matter, and the MCSOs efforts,
or lack thereof, in implementing this Courts orders at the same time it may have been
devoting resources to funding an investigation to possibly discredit this Court. Therefore,
Mr. Moseleys litigating of Mr. Montgomerys stake in the evidence at issue, the validity
of which has been repudiated by Sheriff Arpaio, will most likely involve credibility
determinations and competing factual testimony. This would seem to necessarily impact
the attorney-client relationships Mr. Moseley has with Mr. Montgomery and Sheriff
Arpaio, and likely violate his duty of loyalty to one or both of them. Further, Sheriff
Arpaio has objected on the record to the positions taken by Mr. Moseley in one of his
supplemental pleadings for admission pro hac vice: Putative intervenors attorneys
Klayman and Mosely [sic] neither represent Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridan,
nor speak for the interests of the MCSO in this action or in any proceeding related to this
action. (Doc. 1145 at 2.) This is additional evidence that there is sufficient adversity of
interests to deny Mr. Moseleys request for admission. The Court has a recognized
interest in ensuring that the proceedings in this case are conducted within the standards of
the profession. Cf. Wheat v. United States, 486 U.S. 153, 160 (1988).
In addition to the potential conflict posed by Mr. Moseleys application for
admission, there is evidence that Mr. Moseleys representation of Mr. Montgomery
would stand in the way of the orderly administration of justice. Mr. Moseley attached a
letter dated May 02, 2015 to his pro hac vice application. There is a notation on the letter
that counsel of record were sent copies of his application and accompanying materials;
yet, no other attorney in this action has ever received these documents from Mr. Moseley.
In the letter, Mr. Moseley claims that his appearance would be for the purpose of
presenting answers to this Court. However, before his application for admission pro hac
vice was considered, Mr. Moseley filed several substantive motions not previously
referenced in his application or accompanying letter. Mr. Moseley subsequently
acknowledged that portions of the letter relating to his filing of an amicus curiae brief for
Sheriff Arpaio were also inaccurate. Following that, Mr. Moseley attempted to withdraw

the letter in its entirety. Then, Mr. Moseley reached out to the Court about appearing
telephonically in support of his Motion for Reconsideration and failed to do so or explain
his absence, although he contacted the Court about obtaining a transcript of the
proceedings following their conclusion. At the hearing, Plaintiffs provided the Court with
information that raises additional concerns about Mr. Moseleys ethical fitness to be
admitted to practice in this district pro hac vice. (Tr. May 14, 2015 Status Conf. 34:22
39:9, Doc. 1097 (referencing Moseley v. Virginia State Bar, ex rel. Seventh Dist. Comm.,
280 Va. 1, 1, 694 S.E.2d 586, 588 (2010)).) Mr. Moseleys engagement in this action to
date demonstrates a substantial likelihood that his conduct would hinder the efficacious
administration of justice if he were to be admitted. Where an out-of-state attorney
strongly suggests through his behavior that he will neither abide by the court's rules and
practices . . . nor be readily answerable to the court, the judge may reject his pro hac
vice application. Ries, 100 F.3d at 1471. Mr. Moseley fails to demonstrate how the
Courts previous denial of his application amounted to manifest error.
The second point in Mr. Moseleys Motion for Reconsideration is also misplaced.
There is no constitutional right to counsel in a civil action, which this is. United States v.
Sardone, 94 F.3d 1233, 1236 (9th Cir. 1996). Further, in any case, a litigants right
to choose his counsel is not unlimited and may give way to serve a compelling purpose
such as the efficient and orderly administration of justice. United States v. Walters, 309
F.3d 589, 59192 (9th Cir. 2002); see also United States v. Ries, 100 F.3d 1469 (9th Cir.
1996) (finding court may impinge on right to have chosen attorney admitted pro hac vice
where the attorneys admission is sought for a dilatory purpose or is otherwise subversive
of the ethical and orderly judicial process). For the reasons stated above, the record
strongly suggests that admission of Mr. Moseley would indeed interfere with the orderly
adjudication of this case. Thus, the interest underlying the Courts denial of Mr.
Moseleys application also provides a sufficiently compelling reason to warrant depriving
Mr. Montgomery of his preferred choice of counsel.
Mr. Moseleys third point is a reiteration of previous arguments made in support
