TEXT ORDER: Defendant Professional Swine Management LLC's ("PSM") #13 Motion for Extension of Time to Answer or Otherwise Plead is GRANTED. Under Fed. R. Civ.

TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge Sara Darrow on February 13, 2026. When opening this case, Attorney Alvar Ayala classified it as seeking to bar or mandate statewide or nationwide enforcement of a state or federal law and, accordingly, it was put into a district-wide assignment pool per Civil Local Rule 40.1(E)(4)(b). But this case does not seek such relief, so it is not subject to district-wide assignment. The Clerk is directed to reassign the case to the Rock Island division per the complaint's caption. (LN)
