ELECTRONIC ORDER: The Court is in receipt of the parties' Amended Joint Report (Doc. No. 52). In response to the Court's previous order (Doc. No. 51) regarding responsive pleadings, the NLRB asserts that it understood the Court's order of April 22, 2026 (Doc. No. 43) to have indefinitely stayed the NLRB's time to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint. It is accurate that the Court granted the relief requested in the NLRB's motion requesting the same (Doc. No. 38). However, the request was made in the context of NABET's motion to intervene having not yet been decided. Indeed, the NLRB stated in its motion that "the Court has not conclusively determined whether the Union should be permitted to appear as a party in this litigation, which may materially affect the arguments and defenses presented and result in responsive pleadings being filed on a staggered schedule." Doc. No. 38 at 2 (emphasis added). It was certainly not the Court's intention to sidestep responsive pleadings altogether. The purpose of the stay was to allow the Court to first decide whether NABET should be permitted to intervene, which the Court concluded in the affirmative. See Doc. No. 48. As indicated in the Amended Joint Report, NABET opposes a continued stay of responsive pleadings being filed and specifically asks the Court to allow it to file the same. Doc. No. 52 at 3.The Court declines the NLRB's request for a permanent stay of the time for the NLRB and NABET to file a responsive pleading. Accordingly, the Court LIFTS its previous stay of the time to answer or otherwise respond. The NLRB and NABET shall file their respective responsive pleadings by September 4, 2026. The Court will set the summary judgment briefing schedule by separate order at a later date. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 8/4/2026) (chmb)

Filing 51
ELECTRONIC ORDER: The Court is in receipt of the parties' Proposed Briefing Schedule (Doc. No. 50). The Court directed the parties "to meet and confer regarding (1) the time to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. No. 1) AND (2) a proposed briefing schedule for summary judgment filings." Doc. No. 49. Defendant NLRB has not answered or otherwise responded to the Complaint. Despite this and the Court's directive, the parties' filing does not propose a deadline to answer or otherwise respond, nor does it address why a responsive pleading is not required. Next, the Court does not typically allow parties to combine filings, such as responsive briefing with cross-motions as proposed by the parties. The Court's strong preference, unless persuaded otherwise, is for the parties to propose a deadline to file ALL summary judgment motions along with deadlines by which to file responses and replies thereto. Finally (and significantly), the parties' filing is not signed by any party's counsel of record. The Court ORDERS the parties to file an amended joint report that addresses these issues by July 22, 2026. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 7/8/2026) (chmb)

Filing 48
ELECTRONIC ORDER Granting Motion to Intervene. Before the Court is the Motion to Intervene (the "Motion") (Doc. No. 20) filed by National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO ("NABET"). Plaintiff Nexstar Media Group Inc. Denver Hub ("Nexstar") filed its opposition to the Motion (Doc. No. 28) and NABET filed a reply in support of its Motion (Doc. No. 31). Defendant National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") informed the Court that it took no position regarding proposed intervention. Doc. No. 42. On reviewing the parties' briefing, the Court ordered additional briefing on the discrete issue of whether the government-reliance presumption applies. See Doc. No. 44. Nexstar and NABET timely filed their respective responses. See Doc. Nos. 45 & 46. Rather than brief the specific issue, Nexstar withdrew its opposition to the Motion (Doc. No. 45). NABET claims that it is entitled to intervene as a matter of right and, alternatively, that the Court should permit NABET to intervene. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24 governs intervention. Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a)-(b); see also Guenther v. BP Retirement Accumulation Plan, 50 F.4th 536, 543 (5th Cir. 2022) ("Although the movant bears the burden of establishing its right to intervene, Rule 24 is to be liberally construed."). Under Rule 24(a), the court must permit anyone to intervene who, on timely motion, claims an interest relating to the property or transaction that is the subject of the action, and is so situated that disposing of the action may as a practical matter impair or impede the movant's ability to protect its interest, unless existing parties adequately represent that interest. Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(a)(2). In determining whether the movant has satisfied Rule 24(a)(2)'s requirements, courts in the Fifth Circuit use a four-factor test: "(1) the application for intervention must be timely; (2) the applicant must have an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action; (3) the applicant must be so situated that the disposition of the action may, as a practical matter, impair or impede his ability to protect that interest; [and] (4) the applicant's interest must be inadequately represented by the existing parties to the suit." Guenther, 50 F.4th at 542 (quoting Texas v. United States, 805 F.3d 653, 657 (5th Cir. 2015)).Under Rule 24(b), a court may also permit anyone to intervene who, on timely motion, "has a claim or defense that shares with the main action a common question of law or fact." Fed. R. Civ. P. 24(b)(1)(B). "In acting on a request for permissive intervention the district court may consider, among other factors, whether the intervenors' interests are adequately represented by other parties and whether intervention will unduly delay the proceedings or prejudice existing parties." Kneeland v. Nat'l Collegiate Athletic Ass'n, 806 F.2d 1285, 1289 (5th Cir. 1987) (internal citations omitted); see United States v. City of New Orleans, 540 F. App'x 380, 381 (5th Cir. 2013). The decision of whether to permit intervention is fully within the district court's discretion. Kneeland, 806 F.2d at 1289.Having carefully considered the briefing, the applicable law, and any relevant portions of the record, the Court finds that NABET satisfied its burden and made the required showing under Rule 24(a) to intervene as a matter of right. The Court also concludes, in the alternative, that NABET should be permitted to intervene under Rule 24(b) on this record. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Motion (Doc. No. 20). (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 6/9/2026) (chmb)

Filing 47
ELECTRONIC ORDER Withdrawing Plaintiff's Response in Opposition. The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's letter response (the "Letter") (Doc. No. 45) filed in accordance with the Court's previous order (Doc. No. 44). Plaintiff states therein that it "withdraws its response, opposition, and any objection to National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO's Motion to Intervene." Doc. No. 45 at 1. Accordingly, Plaintiff's response in opposition, filed at Doc. No. 28, is hereby WITHDRAWN.In determining the same, the Court will treat the NABET's Motion to Intervene (Doc. Nos. 20 & 21) as unopposed. See Doc. No. 42. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 5/20/2026) (chmb)

Filing 44
ELECTRONIC ORDER: Before the Court is the Motion to Intervene (the "Motion") (Doc. No. 20) filed by the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technician--Communication Workers of America, AFL-CIO (the "Union"). Plaintiff Nexstar Media Group, Inc., Denver Hub (the "Plaintiff") filed a response in opposition (Doc. No. 28) and the Union filed a reply in support (Doc. No. 31). See also Doc. No. 42 (Defendants' Notice of no position on the Motion). The Court has carefully reviewed the Motion and responsive briefing. To facilitate determination of the Motion, the Court believes additional briefing would be helpful on a discrete issue. Plaintiff and the Union shall brief whether the government-reliance presumption applies in this case as it relates to the Motion. See Hopwood v. State of Texas, 21 F.3d 603, 605 (5th Cir. 1994) ("But where the party whose representation is said to be inadequate is a governmental agency, a much stronger showing of inadequacy is required."). Plaintiff and the Union should also specifically address whether the NLRB is implicated as a sovereign interest in this case. See Miller v. Vilasck, 2022 WL 851782, at *3 n.4 (5th Cir. 2022). Accordingly, Plaintiff and the Union shall EACH submit a brief addressing only this issue by May 19, 2026. The brief shall not exceed 7 pages in length and there shall be no responsive briefing unless otherwise ordered by the Court. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 5/5/2026) (chmb)

ELECTRONIC ORDER:Before the Court is Defendants' Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Answer or Rule 12 Motion (Doc. No. 38).

The Court STAYS Defendants' time to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff's complaint. The Court will enter, by separate order, a briefing schedule upon determining the Motion to Intervene (Doc. No. 20) filed by proposed intervenor National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians Communication Workers of America, AFL-CIO. (Ordered by Judge Ed Kinkeade on 4/22/2026) (chmb)
