[whether] district courts may or should enforce [the precondition] sua sponte.). Plaintiffs may also address the registration requirement in their optional Reply, but because it was not raised in the original Application, Defendants will have a chance to respond to any registration arguments at the hearing, and/or in supplemental briefing, if necessary.
