52TEXT-ONLY ORDER.On June 8, 2026, the Court issued an order 47 intended solely to "protect its jurisdiction" pending consultation with the parties as to the timeline for the Court's resolution of plaintiffs' motion 46 for a temporary restraining order. At the June 9, 2026 status conference, all parties agreed that the Court should await full briefing before ruling on the motion. To that end, the parties represented that they would file a joint stipulation setting forth a schedule for briefing and hearing the motion and setting forth the terms of their agreement to maintain the status quo pending resolution of plaintiffs' motion. The parties have yet to do so. The parties are therefore ordered to appear for a status conference at 2:00pm on June 12, 2026.Absent a stipulation setting forth a briefing and hearing schedule, defendants are ordered to file any response to plaintiffs' 46 motion for a temporary restraining order by no later than 11:59pm on June 12, 2026. No reply shall be filed. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.)

54TEXT-ONLY ORDER.The parties' 53 stipulation proposes a briefing schedule but is ambiguous as to any "terms of their agreement to maintain the status quo pending resolution of plaintiffs' motion" for a temporary restraining order. See Dkt. No. 52 . It therefore does not obviate the need for a status conference. The 2pm conference will be conducted via Zoom. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
