Broad St., Ste. 1330 Columbus OH 43215 Defendant. Plaintiff, the State of Ohio, by and through its Attorney General, Dave Yost, (hereinafter “Ohio” or “the State”), upon personal knowledge as to its own acts and beliefs, and upon information and belief as to all matters based upon the investigation by counsel, brings this action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against Google LLC (“Google” or “Defendant”), alleges as follows: I. INTRODUCTION The vast majority of Ohioans use the internet. And nearly all of those who do use Google Search. Google is so ubiquitous that its name has become a verb. A person does not have to sign a contract, buy a specific device, or pay a fee to use Good Search. Google provides its CLERK OF COURTS - DELAWARE COUNTY, OH - COMMON PLEAS COURT 21 CV H 06 0274 - SCHUCK, JAMES P. FILED: 06/08/2021 09:05 AM search services indiscriminately to the public. To use Google Search, all you have to do is type, click and wait. Primarily, users seek “organic search results”, which, per Google’s website, “[a] free listing in Google Search that appears because it's relevant to someone’s search terms.” In lieu of charging a fee, Google collects user data, which it monetizes in various ways—primarily via selling targeted advertisements.

    MARK BRNOVICH DAVE YOST ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERAL OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL August 25, 2021 The Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General 950 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Re: Constitutionality of Illegal Reentry Criminal Statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1326 Dear Attorney General Garland, We, the undersigned attorneys general, write as chief legal officers of our States to inquire about your intent to appeal the decision in United States v. Carrillo-Lopez, No. 3:20-cr- 00026-MMD-WGC, ECF. 60 (D. Nev. Aug. 18, 2021). As you know, in that decision, Chief Judge Du found unconstitutional 8 U.S.C. § 1326, the statute that criminalizes the illegal reentry of previously removed aliens. We appreciate that you recently filed a notice of appeal, preserving your ability to defend the law on appeal. We now urge you to follow through by defending the law before the Ninth Circuit and (if necessary) the Supreme Court. We ask that you confirm expeditiously DOJ’s intent to do so. Alternatively, if you do not intend to seek reversal of that decision and instead decide to cease prosecutions for illegal reentry in some or all of the country, we ask that you let us know, in writing, so that the undersigned can take appropriate action. Section 1326, as part of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, is unremarkable in that it requires all aliens—no matter their race or country of origin—to enter the country lawfully. In finding the law racially discriminatory against “Latinx persons,” Chief Judge Du made some truly astounding claims, especially considering that, under the Immigration and Nationality Act, Mexico has more legal permanent residents in the United States, by far, than any other country.1 Chief Judge Du determined that, because most illegal reentrants at the border are from Mexico, the law has an impermissible “disparate impact” on Mexicans.

    January 12, 2021 The Honorable Jeffrey A. Rosen Acting Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20530 Dear Acting Attorney General Rosen: We, the undersigned state attorneys general, are committed to the protection of public safety, the rule of law, and the U.S. Constitution. We are appalled that on January 6, 2021, rioters invaded the U.S. Capitol, defaced the building, and engaged in a range of criminal conduct—including unlawful entry, theft, destruction of U.S. government property, and assault. Worst of all, the riot resulted in the deaths of individuals, including a U.S. Capitol Police officer, and others were physically injured. Beyond these harms, the rioters’ actions temporarily paused government business of the most sacred sort in our system—certifying the result of a presidential election. We all just witnessed a very dark day in America. The events of January 6 represent a direct, physical challenge to the rule of law and our democratic republic itself. Together, we will continue to do our part to repair the damage done to institutions and build a more perfect union. As Americans, and those charged with enforcing the law, we must come together to condemn lawless violence, making clear that such actions will not be allowed to go unchecked. Thank you for your consideration of and work on this crucial priority. Sincerely Phil Weiser Karl A.

Our public safety officers risk their lives every day to keep us safe but the COVID-19 pandemic has made their sacrifice clearer. As public safety officers in our states have battled the COVID-19 pandemic, they have put themselves at risk while most Americans were able to stay home. When public safety officers are called to respond, they do not know whether they are coming into contact with a person who is positive for COVID-19. We have seen harrowing stories about how public safety officers have taken heroic actions to save the lives of others, knowing that they risked infection in doing so.1 As Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said, “There’s no way for a 2 1850 M Street, NW police officer to do their job and not potentially be exposed to the virus.” And Twelfth Floor sadly, in many of our states, first responders have lost their lives to COVID- Washington, DC 20036 19.

Monaco Deputy Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Re: Department of Justice’s interpretation of Wire Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1084 Dear Attorney General Garland and Deputy Attorney General Monaco: We, the undersigned State Attorneys General, are seeking clarity and finality from the Department of Justice regarding its interpretation of the Wire Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1084. As you may be aware, 25 State Attorneys General wrote to your predecessors on March 21, 2019 to express our strong objection to the Office of Legal Counsel’s (OLC’s) Opinion “Reconsidering Whether the Wire Act Applies to Non- Sports Gambling,” which reversed the Department’s seven-year-old position that the Wire Act applied only to sports betting. Many States relied on that former position to allow online gaming to proceed. Since that letter, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit upheld a challenge to the new OLC Opinion, holding that the Wire Act applies only to sports betting. After the First Circuit decision, it is vital that States get clarity on the Department’s position going forward. States and industry participants need to understand what their rights are under the law without having to file suit in every federal circuit, and finality is needed so the industry may confidently invest in new products and features without fear of criminal prosecution.

    Remember to vote Nov. 6 Ohio Governor & Lt. Governor: Mike DeWine & Jon Husted The DeWine and Husted ticket represents a proven leadership team for our state and overwhelmingly earned OSCPA’s endorsement. Current Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has broad experience, a positive track record of tackling tough issues and a deep understanding of what it takes for Ohio to succeed over the next four years. Current Secretary of State Jon Husted’s strong history of leadership, proven track record of driving economic development – including championing OSCPA-backed tort reform and tax reform efforts as House Speaker - are equally impressive. Both have partnered with OSCPA for years to achieve numerous workable, commonsense solutions impacting CPAs and the broader business community. OSCPA is confident they will drive positive outcomes over the next four years to operate government efficiently and effectively, keep taxes low, and attract, retain and grow employers and the skilled workforce needed for Ohio’s economy to thrive. Attorney General: Dave Yost Auditor of State: Keith Faber OSCPA leaders believe Dave Yost is the Keith Faber’s track record speaks right choice to serve as Ohio’s next Attorney for itself: he is a watchdog for Ohio General. His unique skillset includes not taxpayer dollars and has a strong only service as a prosecuting attorney and and long history of advocating for private-practice lawyer, but also in running efficient, cost-effective and transparent a very large public-sector operation as government operations – a philosophy State Auditor for the past eight years. We that will serve Ohioans well when he know he will continue to provide thoughtful, is Ohio’s next State Auditor and that commonsense leadership by working to protect Ohio businesses easily won him OSCPA’s endorsement.
