| Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Ann M. Donnelly: Hearing on a Temporary Restraining Order held on July 13, 2023. Arthur Schwartz appeared for the plaintiffs. Jeanne Mirer, Jonathan Bernstein, and Retu Singla appeared for the defendants. Case called. Discussion held. The motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is denied, because the plaintiffs make only vague [and] conclusory allegations, Evans v. Murphy, No. 12-CV-365, 2014 WL 4437771, at *2 (W.D.N.Y. Mar. 13, 2014), and do not establish an injury that is neither remote nor speculative, but actual and imminent and that cannot be remedied by an award of monetary damages, New York ex rel. Schneiderman v. Actavis PLC, 787 F.3d 638, 660 (2d Cir. 2015). The plaintiffs are directed to move for a preliminary injunction by August 14, 2023; the defendants must respond by September 13, 2023; the plaintiffs must file a reply, if any, by September 28, 2023.

ORDER The Court has received the parties' letters (ECF Nos. 10, 11) regarding the defendants' representation and a motion for sanctions. Attorneys from the firm Julien, Mirer, Singla & Goldstein are directed to file an appearance on the docket by end of day today, July 12, 2023, and to attend the temporary restraining order hearing scheduled for July 13, 2023. The Julien attorneys have contacted the Court several times by phone and by filing a letter on ECF, clearly acting as if they are representing the defendants. They may not do so without filing an appearance. If the defendants decide to secure a different attorney in the future, counsel can move to withdraw representation. The parties are also directed to review my Individual Rules before the hearing on July 13, 2023. Among other things, parties may not "call chambers unless otherwise allowed by these rules." Finally, there is no motion for sanctions pending on the docket, so there is nothing to strike. All other questions will be resolved at the hearing on July 13, 2023. The plaintiffs are directed to serve the defendants with a copy of this order and file proof of service today, July 12, 2023. Ordered by Judge Ann M. Donnelly on 7/12/2023. (KA)
