Abstract

No. 23-50746
Perez v. City of San Antonio

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas Honorable Fred Biery (5:23-cv-00977-FB)

From the Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Amicus Curiae Brief

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 29(a)(3) and Fifth Circuit Rule 27.4, the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers and Carol Logan respectfully move for leave to file a brief as amici curiae in support of Plaintiffs-Appellants Gary Perez and Matilde Torres. A copy of the proposed brief is attached to this motion.¹

Comments

This appeal concerns actions by the City of San Antonio that stand to desecrate a sacred Indigenous site and potentially destroy centuries-old religious and spiritual practices that take place there. These issues are of grave concern to Indigenous people and, in particular, to proposed amici, who advocate to end the long and troubling history of governmental destruction of Indigenous sacred lands.
