Date Filed Document Text
May 24, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 65 REPLY TO RESPONSE TO MOTION by Defendants Joseph R. Biden, United States Department of Education, United States Secretary of Education re: #45 Motion to Dismiss/Lack of Jurisdiction (Jerome, Simon)
May 24, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 64 ORDER denying #62 Motion to Modify. Plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate Hearings. Doc. #62 asks the court to combine two upcoming hearings: one on defendants' Motion to Dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and one on plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Plaintiffs assert that many "of the issues that will be addressed at these hearings overlap[.]" Doc. #62 at 1. And, according to plaintiffs, consolidating the hearings will serve the interests of time and judicial economy. Id. While there's a kernel of truth about plaintiffs' reasoning, that kernel isn't big enough to convince the court to combine the two issues--standing and merits--into one hearing. Standing is an essential element of subject matter jurisdiction. And it's imperative that Federal Courts exercise their limited jurisdiction only when it's proper to do so. The Court is resolute about deciding the first question first--have plaintiffs demonstrated that this court has subject matter jurisdiction to decide this case's claims. The Court, in its discretion, concludes that the bifurcated approach established in the court's Memorandum and Order Doc. #44 should remain in effect. The Court thus denies plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate Hearings Doc. #62 . Signed by District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree on 5/24/24. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY.
