MINUTE ORDER. The parties shall meet and confer and file a joint status report by 11:00 a.m. tomorrow proposing a schedule for Defendants to come into compliance with the Court's temporary restraining order ("TRO") and the Court's February 25, 2025, order enforcing the TRO. The joint status report need not address compliance with the February 25, 2025, order for the period that the order was subject to administrative stay; however, it should address steps taken during all other periods up until the filing of the joint status report and include specificity with respect to milestones and timelines for Defendants coming into compliance thereafter. The parties' proposed schedule should account for the length of time that has passed since the TRO was entered and the feasibility of any compliance timelines. At the preliminary injunction hearing tomorrow, the parties should be prepared to address the substantive arguments at issue in the preliminary injunction motions. The Court will hear argument from all parties; however, Plaintiffs in the two cases are encouraged to coordinate to avoid duplicative arguments and will be given the opportunity to propose a division of the issues between counsel. The parties should also be prepared to discuss the steps Defendants have taken to come into compliance with the Court's orders, including any further steps that were executed following the parties' joint status report, as well as the parties' proposed schedule for Defendants coming into compliance. Signed by Judge Amir H. Ali on 3/5/2025. (lcaha2)

NOTICE responding to Court's request for information regarding Plaintiffs' and Plaintiffs' members' invoices by GLOBAL HEALTH COUNCIL, SMALL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES, HIAS, MANAGEMENT SCIENCES FOR HEALTH, INC., CHEMONICS INTERNATIONAL, INC., DAI GLOBAL LLC, DEMOCRACY INTERNATIONAL, INC., AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION re Status Conference (Pei, Sally) (Entered: 03/07/2025)

MINUTE ORDER. As discussed at yesterday's hearing, the Court believes it would be helpful to have additional information to serve as benchmarks in assessing feasibility in reaching compliance with the TRO. These benchmarks will allow the Court to continue to provide clarity as to what is needed for compliance with the TRO, while ensuring that due regard is given to feasibility. As the parties discussed, such benchmarks would also be pertinent to the Court's consideration of any relief to be granted in a preliminary injunction. The Court is in receipt of Defendants' 52 notice stating that they are not currently able to provide information regarding the number of payments processed for Plaintiffs as it relates to Defendants' paragraph 10 in the parties' 50 joint status report, and may need until noon on Monday to provide this information. If Plaintiffs can offer any information or estimate as to how many outstanding invoices were processed in the period described, they should provide that information to the Court as soon as possible.Furthermore, in the interest of facilitating the Court's ruling with respect to enabling letter of credit drawdown and reimbursement requests for Plaintiffs and their members, the parties shall confer and file a brief joint status report by 5:00 p.m. today addressing whether such requests have been enabled and, if not, the agreed upon timeline for doing so.
