August 3, 2023 Filing 22 ATTORNEY Appearance for Defendant Kwame Raoul by Mary Alice Johnston (Johnston, Mary)
August 3, 2023 Filing 21 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Iain D. Johnston: Defendant's motion #20 is denied. The motion is meritless on many levels, too many to explain in a minute order. Defendant has been given timely notice of the hearing and was served last week. This lawsuit should not come as a surprise to Defendant. Any standing concerns or any other jurisdictional issues can and will be addressed at the hearing. The preliminary injunction hearing will proceed as scheduled. Be there. (yxp, )

August 2, 2023 Filing 18 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Iain D. Johnston: I told you there would be more questions. Here's two easy ones. Are the Centers' counselors compensated by the Center for their services? Do the Centers charge for their services or for baby supplies? (yxp, )
August 2, 2023 Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Iain D. Johnston: Consistent with this Court's practice of providing questions in advance of evidentiary or contested hearings when possible, attached is an admittedly incomplete list of questions that the Court will raise at the preliminary injunction hearing. Some questions are factual; some questions are legal; and some are a mix of fact and law. To the extent the questions are factual, the Court would find it very helpful if a witness were available who could answer these questions under oath. Again, this is just a preliminary list. The Court will have more, but the Court thought it would be helpful to provide at least the current list in advance of tomorrow's hearing. (Attachments: #1 List of Questions) (yxp, )
