TEXT ORDER by U.S. Magistrate Judge Tom Schanzle-Haskins. Defendants' Motion for Extension of Time 6 is ALLOWED in part. Plaintiff objects to the 30-day extension. Opposition to Defendants' Motion for Extension of Time to Answer 7 . The Court agrees. Defendants waived service on 7/28/2020, and so have had ample time to prepare a response. Furthermore, the Plaintiff's claims relate to public access to election roles for the upcoming election, so time is of the essence. Defendants are given until 10/5/2020 to respond to the Plaintiff's Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief 1 . (LB, ilcd)

TEXT ORDER: The Court takes judicial notice of the Order in the case Illinois Conservative Union et al. v. State of Illinois et al., Case No. 20-C-5542, Dkt. 29 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 28, 2021) (order denying motion to dismiss). In that case, the State of Illinois, like the State Board of Elections in the present case, raised the Eleventh Amendment's sovereign immunity protections as a basis for the State's Motion to Dismiss. In the Order by the Northern District, the Court denied the State of Illinois's motion to dismiss, holding that "under the plan of the Convention doctrine, the Court finds that Plaintiffs may proceed against the State and the Board and denies the State and the Board's motion to dismiss the NVRA claim based on sovereign immunity." Id. at *3. Because neither Public Interest Legal Foundation nor the State Board of Elections discussed this issue in the briefing in the present case, the parties are DIRECTED to file, within 14 days, briefing on the issue of whether, under the plan of the convention doctrine, the State of Illinois, and thereby the Board of Elections, may be sued in federal court by private parties. Entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 9/29/2021. (GL)

VACATED per Text Order of 10/19/2021. TEXT ORDER: On September 29, 2021, the Court entered a text order directing the parties to file, within 14 days, briefing on the issue of whether, under the plan of the convention doctrine, the State of Illinois, and thereby the Board of Elections, may be sued in federal court by private parties. On October 13, 2021, Plaintiff filed its Memorandum in Response. See (d/e 34 ). None of the Defendants have filed a brief. Therefore, the Defendants are again DIRECTED to file, within 7 days, briefing on the issue of whether, under the plan of the convention doctrine, the State of Illinois, and thereby the Board of Elections, may be sued in federal court by private parties.

TEXT ORDER: The Court notes that Defendants have filed a Memorandum in Support (d/e 35 ) regarding their Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion to Dismiss (d/e 29 ), in which Defendants address the Court's September 29, 2021 text order directing briefing on the "plan of the convention" doctrine. The text order dated October 18, 2021 is, therefore, VACATED. The Court also notes that Bernadette Matthews is now the Acting Director of the Illinois State Board of Elections and is automatically substituted for Defendant Steve Sandvoss--the former Illinois State Board of Elections Executive Director--under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(d). The clerk is, therefore, DIRECTED to update the docket to reflect the automatic substitution. Entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 10/19/2021. (GL)
