ORDER. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint (Doc. # 26 ) filed July 9, 2021 is hereby OVERRULED IN PART for substantially the reasons stated on pages 1-13 of Plaintiffs' Memorandum of Law in Opposition to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss (Doc. # 31 ) filed July 30, 2021. More specifically, the Court finds that plaintiffs' complaint is not subject to dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In this ruling, the Court disregards the many arguments which defendants raise for the first time in their reply brief. Defendants' arguments with regard to jurisdiction are without merit under well established, long-standing principles of law and no purpose is served by addressing them at greater length at this time. Defendants' arguments with regard to failure to state a claim under Rule 12(b)(6), Fed. R. Civ. P., remain under advisement. In evaluating Plaintiffs' Motion For Preliminary Injunction (Doc. # 24 ) filed July 8, 2021, the Court will address plaintiffs' likelihood of success on the merits. In that context, the Court will address the sufficiency of the allegations of plaintiffs' complaint. In regard to the latter motion, the Court expects that on September 8, 2021, in addition to oral argument, the parties will present evidence in support of their respective positions. Without limitation, that evidence should address the extent of any burden which the challenged statutes impose on federally protected rights, and the substance of any legitimate interests which the State of Kansas seeks to advance.
