Going forward, for the benefit of this Court and to avoid any prejudice to Defendants at trial, Plaintiffs shall include in their pretrial stipulation due 12/27/2021, a list of each claim at issue and identify whether Plaintiffs are proceeding with an as-applied or facial challengeor bothas to each claim.
