TEXT ORDER: Pending are the Defendant's motion to strike portions of the Plaintiffs' amended complaint and evidence in their motion for preliminary injunction; the Plaintiffs' motion in limine to bar evidence relating to "cause" to terminate Sandra Yeh, M.D., at the preliminary injunction hearing; and the Plaintiffs' motion to strike the Declaration of Garren Burton. Pending also is the Plaintiffs' unopposed motion for extension of time to respond to Defendant's motion to strike. Because the motion in limine and motion to strike both relate to the now resolved motion for preliminary injunction and/or preliminary injunction hearing that was canceled, the Clerk will terminate those motions #23 , #24 as moot. The Plaintiffs' unopposed motion for an extension of time to respond to Defendant's motion to strike portions of Plaintiffs' amended complaint #29 is GRANTED, while the portion of that motion for an extension of time in which to respond to the motion to strike evidence in Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction #29 is terminated as moot. Any response to the Defendant's motion to strike portions of Plaintiffs' amended complaint #20 is due by June 26, 2020. Entered by Judge Richard Mills on 6/22/2020. (GL, ilcd)
