Florida was the scene of another riveting legal drama -- the saga of young Elian Gonzalez.
Elian survived for two days clinging to an inner tube until he was rescued by fishermen.
"First, Elian will not suffer any harm by the denial of a stay, " he said.
"Elian and his father should therefore now be allowed to return home, " the government brief concluded.
They would again make overtures to meet with Juan Miguel and, of course, Elian.
Instead, Elian will soon be joined by four classmates from Cuba to keep him company.
As the relatives became increasingly attached to Elian, their attitudes hardened, and one can understand why.
The Cuban leader wants Elian sent back unconditionally to set a diplomatic and legal precedent.
"The determination about what materials will be shown to Elian will be made by his father, " Kline wrote.
Kline also stated that phone calls to Elian "should be determined by Mr. Gonzalez, " referring to the boy's father.
U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno said the boy's father speaks for the boy, ordering Elian returned to his homeland.
Diaz gained national attention during last year's Elian Gonzalez custody battle as a lawyer for the boy's Miami relatives.
He also said Elian once bit a therapist brought in by the Miami relatives to meet with the boy.

If the Elian affair has united Cuban Americans, it has done little to ease the strains within the group.
Elian's father, though he was divorced from Elian's mother, was a caring parent.
Elian has become attached both to his Miami relatives and his new homeland.
The federal appeals court in Atlanta is deciding whether to force the government to give Elian a political asylum hearing.
Elian's mother and 10 others drowned when the boat they were traveling on from Cuba capsized off the Florida shore.
Critics said Redlener's call for law enforcement officials to immediately remove Elian is a public relations ploy by the government.

Former mayor Maurice Ferre will face Manny Diaz, an attorney for the Miami relatives of Elian Gonzalez, in a runoff election.
Indeed, Mr Clinton won a majority of the state's Latino women, who are the group most determined that Elian should stay.
As the case has dragged on, even younger Miami Cubans who originally said Elian should go back, are changing their minds.
The Miami lawyers this week took legal action seeking to prevent Cuban government officials from having any further contact with Elian's father.
Elian's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, desperate to get his son back, at first said he would do anything, even go to Florida.
The boy's great-uncle, Lazaro Gonzalez, applied for Elian's political asylum in January.
If the Supreme Court does not issue a stay beforehand, Elian and his father could leave the United States anytime after 4 p.m.
Meanwhile, as negotiations dragged on between the federal authorities and the Miami family of Elian, crowds gathered outside the house where he is staying.
While the Miami budget includes funds for police overtime, Schwartz said the city may ask the federal government for reimbursement related to the Elian Gonzalez case.
When Elian was first rescued from the sea, one of three survivors of a raft-load of Cubans, it seemed that matters would be sorted out swiftly.
