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.)

ORDER - granting Plaintiffs' 41 Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Because each of the factors for the issuance of a preliminary injunction weighs in favor of Plaintiffs, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Filing No. 41).
