ORDER. Plaintiffs have filed a Motion to Exceed the Page Limits (Doc. 3 ) that asks the court for permission to file a no-more-than-35-page Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Plaintiffs inform the court that these excess pages are necessary due "to the complex nature of the Final Rule and Plaintiffs' injuries[.]" Id. at 1. Plaintiffs note that they don't know whether defendants oppose the Motion to Exceed Page Limits because defendants haven't entered an appearance in the case yet. Id. The court grants plaintiffs' request and, to avoid any potential for prejudice to defendants, grants defendants a commensurate 35-page limit on their consolidated response brief.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER. Plaintiffs' Motion for a Scheduling Order (Doc. 39 ) is granted in part and denied in part. Specifically, the court grants plaintiffs' request to issue a short-term schedule. But the court declines to adopt the schedule plaintiffs have proposed. The court adopts the following schedule for briefing these early issues - April 26, 2024: Defendants' combined Motion to Dismiss and response in opposition to plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 23 ); May 10, 2024: Plaintiffs' combined response in opposition to defendants' Motion to Dismiss and reply in support of their Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 23 ) and May 24, 2024: Defendants' reply in support of their Motion to Dismiss. The court also sets the following hearings. Though both hearings might not prove necessary, the court nonetheless schedules them now so the parties can reserve both dates on their calendars and staff the case appropriately: Hearing on defendants' forthcoming Motion to Dismiss set for 5/31/2024 at 09:00 AM and Hearing on plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 23 ) set for 6/11/2024 at 01:00 PM. Both hearings will be held in KC Courtroom 476 (DDC) before District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree. The defendants' request to dismiss plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction without prejudice is denied. Signed by District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree on 4/16/2024. (mam) (Entered: 04/16/2024)

ORDER. The court previously granted a Motion for Leave to File an Amicus Curiae Brief (Doc. 48) filed by the Buckeye Institute. Doc. 52. In its Memorandum and Order, the court gave defendants an opportunity to seek the court's permission to file a response to the amicus brief. Defendants have done so, filing a Motion for Leave to File Response to Amicus Brief (Doc. 55 ). Defendants seek to file a three-page response addressing the amicus brief's arguments. Plaintiffs don't oppose defendants' motion. The court thus grants the motion. Defendants have until June 7 to file their three-page response to the amicus brief. Signed by District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree on 05/23/2024. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (mig) (Entered: 05/23/2024)

ORDER denying 62 Motion to Modify. Plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate Hearings. Doc. 62 asks the court to combine two upcoming hearings: one on defendants' Motion to Dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and one on plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Plaintiffs assert that many "of the issues that will be addressed at these hearings overlap[.]" Doc. 62 at 1. And, according to plaintiffs, consolidating the hearings will serve the interests of time and judicial economy. Id. While there's a kernel of truth about plaintiffs' reasoning, that kernel isn't big enough to convince the court to combine the two issues--standing and merits--into one hearing. Standing is an essential element of subject matter jurisdiction. And it's imperative that Federal Courts exercise their limited jurisdiction only when it's proper to do so. The Court is resolute about deciding the first question first--have plaintiffs demonstrated that this court has subject matter jurisdiction to decide this case's claims. The Court, in its discretion, concludes that the bifurcated approach established in the court's Memorandum and Order Doc. 44 should remain in effect. The Court thus denies plaintiffs' Motion to Consolidate Hearings Doc. 62 . Signed by District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree on 5/24/24. (This is a TEXT ENTRY ONLY. There is no.pdf document associated with this entry.) (ss) (Entered: 05/24/2024)
