Will you? Then we'll get the 5 appearances. 6 THE CLERK: Civil matter 10-00623-AWT, Acosta, et al. 7 Vs. Huppenthal, et al., on for day one of a bench trial. 8 Counsel, please state your appearances for the record. 9 THE COURT: At least for the first day, let's get the 10 appearance of all counsel here, starting with the plaintiffs. 11 Who is here? 12 MR. REISS: Yes, Your Honor. Steve Reiss of the Weil, 13 Gotshal & Manges law firm for the plaintiffs. And with me, Jim 14 Quinn, my partner emeritus. 15 MR. QUINN: Good morning, Your Honor. 16 THE COURT: Good morning to both of you. 17 MR. REISS: David Fitzpatrick (sic). Luna Barrington. 18 MS. BARRINGTON: Good morning, Your Honor. 19 MR. REISS: Bob Chang of the Korematsu Center. 20 Richard Martinez, of course. 21 THE COURT: Good morning, Mr. Martinez. 22 MR. MARTINEZ: Good to see you, Judge. 23 MR. REISS: And of course we have our support help 24 here. We have George Martorell, Joseph Rausch, who is a summer 25 associate, and Sirak Biratu, who is arranging our logistics so UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 5 1 we don't get lost. 2 THE COURT: Good morning to all of you. 3 What about for the defense? Who do we have? 4 MS. COOPER: Leslie Kyman Cooper from the Attorney 5 General's Office on behalf of defendants. 6 MR. ELLMAN: Robert Ellman, from Weinzweig for the 7 defense. 8 THE COURT: Okay. Lots of lawyers. I guess what I 9 have to say is when we get down to witness examination, you 10 know, the rule I usually follow is, unless there's some reason 11 not to, only one lawyer per witness, all right, on whatever it 12 is, direct, cross, anything else. And then when we get to any 13 kind of argument, we'll see about that. 14 Before we start the trial, there are several motions 15 that have been filed over the last few days. Some of them I'll 16 try to rule on today. But let me ask the plaintiffs -- that's 17 for today though -- what witnesses do the plaintiffs intend to 18 call today? 19 MR. REISS: Your Honor, today we intend to call Curtis 20 Acosta, Maya Arce, and depending where we are, it's conceivable 21 we would start with Mr. Huppenthal. I don't know if we'll get 22 to Mr. Huppenthal today. 23 THE COURT: Okay. I just want to know the names 24 because I don't know whether, you know, any of the pending 25 motions will impact their testimony or the examination of those UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 6 1 witnesses. It's possible they can. 2 All right. Thank you. I am going to at least rule on 3 some of the pending motions. One, there's been a motion to 4 exclude witnesses. If the motion is made timely, it's a matter 5 of right. So the motion is granted. So all witnesses are 6 excluded. 7 Counsel, presumably you know the witnesses that you're 8 going to call, so if you see any of your witnesses in the 9 courtroom, be sure to shoo them out, otherwise they may not be 10 able to testify. It's counsels' obligation to monitor the 11 courtroom for that purpose. That's motion number one. 12 Yes? 13 MR. REISS: Your Honor, if I might, I think we had an 14 agreement with the state that experts could attend for the 15 opening statements, and I would ask the Court whether witnesses 16 could simply attend for the opening statements and then be 17 excluded. There are some witnesses -- 18 THE COURT: Any objection to that? 19 MS. COOPER: Yes, Your Honor. We are fine with the 20 experts attending for the opening statements, but we don't feel 21 that the witnesses should hear the State's case. 22 THE COURT: All right. Witnesses -- well, one, all 23 right, I grant that motion as far as witnesses are concerned. 24 I deny -- I mean, as far as the experts are concerned. I deny 25 it as to percipient witnesses. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 7 1 Two, though, going further on experts, you know, some 2 experts legitimately want to listen to certain testimony 3 because it's part of the basis of their testimony -- of their 4 opinion. So if you have that kind of witness and you want that 5 expert in the courtroom during the testimony, you just have to 6 bring it up before the fact. All right? Either side, if you 7 want to do that. 8 MR. REISS: Yes, Your Honor. 9 THE COURT: That's on the exclusion of witnesses. Let 10 me see. There are two or three other motions pending. Well, 11 let me address one other, more or less, a routine motion. 12 There's a motion I think by defendants to, although it 13 applies to both sides, for leave to treat certain witnesses as 14 hostile. That's fine. There's a list of witnesses. I'm not 15 going to go through the list, I'm not going to sign a written 16 order, but if you call a witness and you believe that witness 17 is hostile, you can ask for that permission at the time you 18 start your questioning. All right. 19 As for the other half of the motion, you know, to 20 prevent the other side from asking leading questions, I'll have 21 to take that case by case.

  • Community Dreams and Nightmares: Arizona, Ethnic Studies, and the Continued Relevance of Derrick Bell's Interest-Convergence Thesis
    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\88-4\NYU409.txt unknown Seq: 1 26-SEP-13 15:47 COMMUNITY DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES: ARIZONA, ETHNIC STUDIES, AND THE CONTINUED RELEVANCE OF DERRICK BELL’S INTEREST-CONVERGENCE THESIS KEVIN TERRY* In 2010, the Arizona State Legislature drew national attention to issues of ethnicity, pedagogy, and censorship in public schools by passing House Bill 2281. As inter- preted by Arizona officials, this law made the curriculum of the Mexican American Studies Department in Tucson public schools illegal. The ongoing conflict between supporters and opponents of the Department in public discourse—and in state and federal courts—raises important questions about the ways that majority and minority cultures interact in United States educational institutions. This Note uses Arizona’s ethnic studies ban to suggest that Derrick Bell’s interest-convergence thesis and Lani Guinier’s related theory of interest-divergence continue to be useful tools in assessing the dynamics between powerful and marginalized groups. The Note sets the facts of the ethnic studies controversy against recent criticism of Professor Bell’s work and, in doing so, rebuts the assertion that the interest- convergence thesis has become less relevant to understanding contemporary inter- group conflict in the United States.

  • National Identity and Political Strategies of Racism Denial in The
    “THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF EVERY PRECIOUS AMERICAN VALUE”: NATIONAL IDENTITY AND POLITICAL STRATEGIES OF RACISM DENIAL IN THE TERMINATION OF TUCSON’S MEXICAN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM by GLORIA HOWERTON (Under the Direction of Amy Trauger) ABSTRACT Tucson, Arizona became a prominent educational battleground with the 2010 passage of ARS § 15-112, legislation used to terminate Tucson’s Mexican American Studies program. After a seven-year legal battle, the 9th circuit district court of appeals ruled that racial animus was key to the implementation and enforcement of the legislation. This project is concerned with the continuing effort to seize upon and (re)produce a particular national identity that rests in individualism and whiteness. Attempts to promote certain values and identities as “American” emerge from an entanglement between the scales of nation, state, school district, and classroom. In the border state of Arizona, the looming spectre of the Mexico-U.S. border provides a base for politicians and political institutions to build and maintain power through fears of white loss and victimhood. In particular, I consider how these racialized fears are used as political tools, and how accusations of racism or racial animus are evaded in a process that I call “appropriative evasion.” Appropriative evasion is informed both by Freyd’s (1997) DARvo (Deny, Attack, Reverse victim and offender) which she observes as a tactic that abusers use to silence and confuse victims and accusers, as well as by Haney López’s (2014) dog whistle politics, which considers the use of racially coded political discourse as a tool to win political power while still evading accusations of racism.

Krug (1940–2009) Publisher: Barbara Jones Office for Intellectual Freedom, American Library Association ISSN 1945-4546 March 2015 Vol. LXIV No. 2 www.ala.org/nif For the last year, Tom Wheeler, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has been working on new rules to ensure so-called net neutrality, or an open Internet. Over that time, his hints and comments have shown a steady shift toward stronger regula- FCC chair tion—and a more direct confrontation with the cable television and telecommunications companies that provide high-speed Internet service to most American homes. goes But on February 4, Wheeler went further than some industry analysts had expected and even beyond the recommendations of President Obama, who in November urged the commission to adopt the “strongest possible rules,” in a surprising public admonition to an beyond “net independent agency. Under his plan, the FCC would regulate broadband Internet services to American homes using a common carrier provision of the Communications Act, called neutrality”; Title II, whose heritage goes back to the early days of the nation’s telephone network. First, Wheeler proposed regulating consumer Internet service as a public utility, saying it was the right path to net neutrality. He also included provisions to protect consumer proposes privacy and to ensure Internet service is available for people with disabilities and in remote areas. to regulate Wheeler’s plan would also for the first time give the FCC enforcement powers to police practices in the marketplace for handling of data before it enters the gateway network into people’s households—the so-called interconnect market.

Cabrera, PhD Center for the Study of Higher Education University of Arizona Robert S. Chang, JD Korematsu Center Seattle University Abstract In 2011, the state of Arizona banned the highly successful Tucson Unified School District Mexican American Studies program through the law ARS § 15-112. This article is a Critical Race Theory counternarrative regarding the role of statistics in the constitutional challenge to this state law. Through firsthand accounts of this process, we demonstrate how multivariate empirical analyses served as an important component for the overturning of the law ARS § 15-112 in the highest- profile Ethnic Studies legal case in the country’s history (Arce v. Douglas, 2015). We also use this article to explore the limitations of interest convergence (Bell, 1980) using this litigation as a case study.
