The States are instructed to renew their request for separate briefing to the extent they deem it necessary in connection with a given motion. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to consolidate these two cases under docket number 21-CV-448 and to close 21-CV-452. All further submissions in this now-consolidated case must be filed under docket number 21-CV-448.
