August 20, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 159 ORDER ON DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS AND PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT - For the foregoing reasons, the Court DENIES the Defendants' Motion to Dismiss (Filing No. 134 ) and GRANTS the Plaintiffs' Motion for Summa ry Judgment (Filing No. 136 ). The Court ISSUES A PERMANENT INJUNCTION prohibiting the Defendants from implementing SEA 334 §§ 5.5(d)(f) and prohibiting the Defendants from otherwise removing any Indiana registrant from the list of eli gible voters because of a change in residence absent: (1) a request or confirmation in writing directly from the voter that the voter is ineligible or does not wish to be registered; or (2) the NVRA- prescribed process of (a) notifying the voter, ( b) giving the voter an opportunity to respond, and (c) then waiting two inactive federal election cycles. The trial and final pretrial conference are hereby VACATED. Final judgment will issue under separate order and all other pending motions are terminated. (See Order.) Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 8/20/2020.(NAD)
October 5, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 78 ENTRY - DENYING DEFENDANTS' 72 MOTION FOR STAY OF COURT PROCEEDINGS AND DISCOVERY. The Court DENIES the Defendants' Motion for Stay of District Court Proceedings and Discovery, (Filing No. 72 ), while the case is on interlocutory appeal of the preliminary injunction order, presently before the United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit. (See Entry.) Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 10/5/2018. (NAD)
June 8, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 63 ORDER - granting Plaintiffs' 41 Motion for Preliminary Injunction.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d), the Court ISSUES A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION prohibiting the Defendants from taking any actions to implement SEA 442 until this case has been finally resolved. A similar ruling is issued in related case Common Cause Indiana v. Lawson et al., 1:17-cv-3936-TWP-MPB. Plaintiffs need not post a bond. (See Order.) Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 6/8/2018.
