TEXT ORDER - Legislative Defendants have moved to take depositions prior to the preliminary injunction hearing and have requested an expedited resolution of that motion. (Doc. 49.) The parties have agreed this motion can be resolved in an expedited fashion pursuant to LR 37.1(b). In addition to resolving the motion, this court will set a hearing date and, while the parties have suggested a one-day hearing is sufficient, Legislative Defendants express concern that one day may not be sufficient particularly if no depositions are permitted. (Id. at 3.) This court agrees this issue should be addressed in an expedited fashion. The court therefore directs Plaintiffs and the remaining Defendants to respond to Legislative Defendants' motion, (Doc. 49), if at all, by Tuesday, June 30, 2020, at midnight. In lieu of a telephone conference as described by LR 37.1(b), this court will hold a hearing on Wednesday, July 1, 2020, at 12:30 p.m. in Greensboro Courtroom 1. One attorney on behalf of Plaintiffs and one attorney on behalf of Defendants, other than Legislative Defendants, shall be required to appear and speak for the represented party. While the court prefers that one attorney on behalf of Legislative Defendants appear for this hearing, the court will permit counsel for Legislative Defendants to appear by telephone in light of the short notice. All counsel not appearing in court may make arrangements with the case manager to appear by telephone. However, those appearing by telephone will be allowed only a limited opportunity to argue with respect to the issues. At the hearing, the court will address Legislative Defendants' motion for permission to take depositions, the hearing date, the amount of time allowed for the hearing, and any arrangements necessary for the hearing in light of current conditions. [Issued by JUDGE WILLIAM L. OSTEEN, JR., on 06/29/2020.] (Cable, Frances)

TEXT ORDER - While the court appreciates the status report filed today, (Doc. 75), the question to which the status report responds was not the question the court intended to ask. The court's inquiry was not directed to bifurcating the hearing. Instead, it was an effort to determine which issues were the most time sensitive. The question was posed in an effort to try to determine what an expedited process needed to consider. For example, a request for an expedited process could mean entry of an order by September 3, 2020. While the court is fully aware that that is not the case, the question remains as to which matters are urgent in terms of timing; that is, what, if anything, is occurring now. Executive Defendants made it clear that printing is presently in final stages. In terms of this court's request, this court was seeking some guidance to allow the court to better understand what the term expedited should be understood to mean and why that is the case.
