                 In  te  oupreme tourt of te Wnitteb btates


                                 JOHN  STURGEON,
                                                        Petitioner,
                                         V.
                       BERT FROST, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY
                       AS ALASKA REGIONAL   DIRECTOR  OF THE
                             NATIONAL  PARK  SERVICE,
                                                       Respondent.

                                ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI
                        TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                                FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

             UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN ORAL
                      ARGUMENT AND FOR DIVIDED ARGUMENT


      Pursuant to Rules 28.4 and 28.7 of the Rules of this Court, Amicus Curiae State of Alaska

respectfully moves for leave to participate in oral argument and for divided argument in this

case. Alaska requests that ten minutes of Petitioner John Sturgeon's argument time be allocated

to Alaska. Mr. Sturgeon supports this motion and agrees to cede ten minutes of his time to

counsel for the State of Alaska. Granting this motion therefore would not require this Court to

enlarge the overall time set for oral argument. Alaska last week filed an Amicus Curiae brief in

support of Mr. Sturgeon and wishes to present argument on points that are of unique and

particular importance to the State, and that are aligned with, but distinct from, those presented in

Petitioner's brief. Argument has been scheduled for this case on November 5, 2018. This is the

second time that this case has been before the Court; in the 2015 Term this Court granted

Alaska's motion for leave to participate in argument and for divided argument, and Alaska's

counsel argued the case. Alaska requests the same here. The Solicitor General's Office has

agreed to non-oppose the motion.
