REPLY to Response to [15] MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM filed by Boston Police Department, Michael A. Cox, The City of Boston, Michelle Wu. (Dinning, Sam)

District Judge Leo T. Sorokin: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. The parties’ briefing does not address whether the United States has Article III standing as to each of its claims against the City of Boston—that is, whether the United States has suffered cognizable injuries in fact traceable to the challenged conduct that are likely to be redressed by an order of this Court. See, e.g., Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, 578 U.S. 330, 338 (2016); Lujan v. Defs. of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560–61 (1992). “Standing is not dispensed in gross. Rather, a plaintiff must demonstrate standing for each claim [it] seeks to press and for each form of relief that is sought.” FEC v. Davis, 554 U.S. 724, 734 (2008) (citation modified). Standing must be shown before the Court can proceed to evaluate the merits of the motion to dismiss. Accordingly, the Court orders the parties to file supplemental briefing as follows: The parties shall brief the United States’ Article III standing as to each claim and form of relief sought against the City of Boston, considering in particular (1) Massachusetts law regarding detention based on civil immigration detainers, Lunn v. Commonwealth, 78 N.E.3d 1143 (Mass. 2017), and (2) the Boston Trust Act’s information-sharing savings clause, Bos., Mass., Mun. Code ch. 11 § 1.9(D)(3) (2019). The United States’ brief is due April 1, 2026, limited to 10 pages. Defendants’ response is due April 15, 2026, limited to 14 pages. The United States’ reply is due April 22, 2026, limited to 4 pages.(FGD) (Entered: 03/18/2026)
