ORDER granting Plaintiff's #26 Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Amended Verified Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief ("Motion to Amend") and denying without prejudice as moot Plaintiff's #22 Amended Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction ("Amended Motion for TRO"). Noting that Plaintiff's Motion to Amend is unopposed and that Fed. R. Civ.

As discussed in the Court's #24 October 19 Order, Plaintiff's #22 Amended Motion for TRO is now moot. Therefore, the Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE AS MOOT Plaintiff's Amended Motion for TRO. Pursuant to the Court's October 19 Order, if Plaintiff intends to refile a new amended motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction that is directed at or based on his new operative pleading, he is ORDERED to do so within one (1) day of filing that new pleading. Further pursuant to the Court's October 19 Order, if Plaintiff files that new amended motion, Defendants are DIRECTED to file any Response within seven (7) days of such filing. No reply brief regarding Plaintiff's new amended motion shall be permitted. ORDERED by Judge Regina M Rodriguez on 10/20/2021. Text Only Entry(angar, )
