(This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no pdf document associated with this entry.) I am vaccinated and boosted. Two members of my household (one is vaccinated and boosted; the other is not eligible for the vaccine) tested positive for Covid-19 in the last several days. Then, on Sunday, I developed symptoms consistent with Covid-19. Out of concern for the safety of Court staff, litigants, and attorneys, I have chosen to quarantine until I receive a PCR result. Given the current overload on the testing system, I am not sure when I will get that result. Accordingly, the in-person PI hearing will need to be rescheduled to start the first part of the first week of February. My courtroom deputy will reach out to the parties to work on scheduling. The telephonic hearing on the motion to quash subpoenas will be rescheduled to this Thursday. Signed by Judge Lee P. Rudofsky on 01/24/2022. (gvl)

Defendants' Response(s) to Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction will now be due by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19, 2022. Plaintiffs' Reply will be due by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 26, 2022. The preliminary injunction hearing will begin Thursday, January 27, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. There is good cause for a very limited extension of the briefing schedule--considering how fact intensive this case is and the size and scope of Plaintiffs' filings. However, Plaintiffs are still correct about the importance of getting to a decision without delay. The Court is hopeful that, on this schedule, it can still decide the preliminary injunction motion by the beginning of February. Today's order is without prejudice to Plaintiffs' recusal motion. The Court will decide that motion shortly, but the parties need a ruling on the schedule now. Signed by Judge Lee P. Rudofsky on 1/03/2022. (gvl)

Filing 9
(This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no pdf document associated with this entry.) ORDER granting in part and denying in part the request for expedited briefing and consideration. The Court understands the need for expedited consideration of the Motion for Preliminary Injunction. On the other hand, given the importance of the issues at bar, the complexity of the law in this area, and the significant factual development necessary in these types of cases, the Court does not want to short-change any party with respect to the briefing schedule. Defendants' response brief(s) will be due by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, January 13, 2022. Plaintiffs may file a reply brief by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, January 20, 2022. The Court will hold a preliminary injunction hearing on Monday, January 24, 2022. That hearing may last more than one day if necessary. The Court expects the parties to present both evidence and legal argument at the preliminary injunction hearing. The Court is focused on filing a written decision on the preliminary injunction motion by February 1, 2022. If any party believes that timeline presents insurmountable administrative or substantive problems, that party should file a motion for reconsideration of this timeline no later than the end of the day tomorrow.Signed by Judge Lee P. Rudofsky on 12/30/2021. (nab)
