JAVIER GARCIA-BENGOCHEA V. CARNIVAL CORPORATION
MOTION OF FORMER CONGRESSMEN DAN BURTON AND ROBERT TORRICELLI FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF AND SUPPORTING MEMORANDUM OF LAW
Excerpt:
Dan Burton and Robert Torricelli, former Members of the United States Congress, hereby move, pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Local Rules of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, to file an Amicus Curiae Brief in support of the Plaintiffs Opposition to the Defendant Carnival's Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings.
Mr. Burton is a former Republican Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and was the lead House co-sponsor of the Helms-Burton law, also known as the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity (Libertad) Act of 1996 ("Helms-Burton Act"). He was also the Chairman of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee of the House Committee on International Relations at the time the law was enacted.
Mr. Torricelli is a former Democratic Member of the House and U.S. Senate, who was an original co-sponsor and floor leader for the Helms-Bur ton Act in the House in 1995-96. Amici have unique insights and perspectives that will aid the Court in interpreting the statute and discerning Congressional intent with respect to the defense argument that the Plaintiff cannot pursue his claim under Title III because he inherited it after March 12, 1996. The proposed Amicus Curiae Brief is attached as Exhibit A. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/563a4585e4b00d0211e8dd7e/t/5e601abcb94eb96d5a032701/1583356606493/19744641-0--22179.pdf
