Case Summary

On June 21, 2018, plaintiffs—lawful permanent residents ("LPRs")—filed a class action complaint against the U.S. Department of Defense (“DOD”) in the Northern District of California. Represented by private counsel as well as the ACLU Foundations of Northern and Southern California, the plaintiffs alleged that a new DOD policy—promulgated via a memo on October 13—unfairly targeted LPRs and unlawfully prevented them from serving in the nation’s military. The DOD policy noted that LPRs could not be shipped to basic training, and thus serve in the military, until certain background investigations and related determinations about their suitability to serve were completed. Prior to the memorandum, both citizens and LPRs generally were eligible to begin active-duty service before their background screenings were completed as long as they had satisfied certain other screening requirements. Plaintiffs filed this suit on behalf of the following proposed class:

“All individuals who: (i) are LPRs; (ii) have signed an enlistment contract with the U.S. military; and (iii) pursuant to [new DOD policy], have not been permitted to enter into Active, Reserve or Guard Service pending the completion of their MSSD and NSD.”

First, the complaint alleged that the DOD policy facially discriminated against LPRs based on their alienage and thus violated plaintiffs’ right to equal protection under the Fifth Amendment. The complaint went on to allege that the policy violated substantive due process under the Fifth Amendment. Plaintiffs further alleged that the policy violated the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) for numerous reasons, including (a) the DOD’s failure to act by way of unlawfully withholding and/or unreasonably delaying the plaintiffs’ military service, (b) failure to undergo proper notice-and-comment rulemaking in promulgating the policy, and (c) violation of the clear intent and language of the Enlistment Statute that allow LPRs to enlist along with U.S. citizens. They, thus, sought declaratory, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief to enjoin DOD from implementing the policy change, thereby permitting LPRs to be shipped to basic training on the same terms as U.S. citizen recruits. The case was assigned to Judge Jon S. Tigar.

On July 19, 2018, the plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary injunction, and subsequently filed a motion to certify the proposed class on August 1, 2018. In response, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss and opposition to the preliminary injunction on September 6, 2018.

On November 16, the court denied the motion to dismiss and granted both the motion for class certification and preliminary injunction based on their APA arbitrary and capricious claim. 340 F.Supp.3d 873. In doing so, the defendants were enjoined from implementing the new DOD policy and were ordered to revert to their prior practice of “accessing” LPRs into the military on equal footing with their citizen counterparts. The court also certified the following class:

“All persons who (i) are lawful permanent residents of the United States; (ii) have signed an enlistment contract with the U.S. military; and (iii) pursuant to Defendants’ October 13 memo, have not been permitted to begin initial entry training, commonly referred to as “boot camp,” pending completion of their MSSDs and NSDs.”

In light of the court’s order, the defendants sought for the preliminary injunction to be stayed pending an appeal to the Ninth Circuit (USCA Case Number 18-17381). The district court ordered the motion to be held in abeyance on December 28 pending decision by the Ninth Circuit of a similar motion. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit denied DOD’s request for a stay on February 1, 2019. Thus, on February 20, 2019, the motion to stay the preliminary injunction was denied at the district court as well. 2019 WL 718632.

Alongside this dispute to stay the preliminary injunction, the district court was also resolving a discovery dispute among the parties. On October 19, 2018, DOD initially produced the administrative record. However, the parties soon began to contest whether the plaintiffs were entitled to fact discovery beyond the administrative record. The plaintiffs argued that they were entitled to discovery on the merits of their constitutional claims as well as the equitable elements of a permanent injunction. On January 23, 2019, the court denied the request for extra discovery on the constitutional claims due to an insufficient basis for this request, but granted the request for discovery on the equitable elements of a permanent injunction due to the parties’ likelihood of advocating for a remedy that departed from the standard remedy of vacatur. 2019 WL 293379.

In March of 2019, the defendants then filed a motion in district court to stay proceedings pending resolution of the appeal. This motion was granted on April 15. 2019 WL 1597495.

Meanwhile, the appeal regarding the preliminary injunction order remained ongoing. Following briefings on the matter, oral arguments were held in June 2019. The Ninth Circuit then entered judgment in favor of DOD, reversing the district court’s order on July 2, 2019. The Appellate Court noted that the administrative record revealed at least two factual underpinnings for DOD’s decision to adjust the accession timeline for LPR recruits, and therefore was likely not arbitrary nor capricious. Thus, the Ninth Circuit vacated the preliminary injunction. The court further remanded the case with instructions to dismiss the arbitrary and capricious claim on grounds that internal military regulations are not amenable to judicial review without some preliminary scrutiny, a threshold which this policy did not surpass under the so-called Mindes doctrine. 778 Fed.Appx. 418.

Considering the appellate court’s judgment, the plaintiffs filed a petition for rehearing en banc, citing that the court’s application of Mindes would immunize from judicial review any form of discrimination by the military. Thus, the plaintiffs requested a rehearing on grounds that the court misapplied Mindes. However, the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing was denied in November 2019, as no judge on the Ninth Circuit requested a vote on the matter.

Shortly after the Ninth Circuit panel’s decision was issued, DOD issued a new policy in July 2019, the Expedited Screening Protocol (ESP), which implemented “uniform and consistent standards” for screening all enlistees regarding “allegiance, foreign preference, or foreign influence concerns.” DOD, thus, decided to hold their October 13 policy “in abeyance” pending the results of a six-month review of the ESP. Thus, at the district court level, the parties requested that the case be stayed until February 14, 2020, at which time the parties proposed to submit a joint status report concerning the status of the ESP and the October 13 Policy. The district court granted this stipulation on December 6, 2019.

In light of the denied rehearing on appeal, though, the petitioners soon sought to file a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. After requesting an extension to file their petition in January 2020, the plaintiffs filed their petition on March 30, 2020.

Given the pending Supreme Court decision on the petition and the new ESP policy, on May 8, 2020, the parties requested the district court to extend the stay of proceedings as it would avoid needless litigation. The court granted the extension on May 11. The case’s stay was subsequently extended again in August, October, and December of 2020, as well as February of 2021.

On February 9, 2021, DOD informed the plaintiffs that it had completed its review of the ESP and determined that the ESP was effective and efficient for the security processing of military accessions, and formally rescinded the October 13 Policy. As the case was thus rendered moot by these developments, certiorari was also denied by the Supreme Court on April 26, 2021. 141 S.Ct. 2565.

Ultimately, in the Northern District of California, the parties then entered a stipulation to dismiss the case with prejudice in May of 2021. The case is now considered closed.
