Order on Motion for leave to electronically file Pro Se

Judge Brian E. Murphy: ELECTRONIC ORDER - The Court seeks to clarify the notes in Dkt. 19. Given the parties representations that Plaintiffs SEVIS record had been re-activated, the Court determined only that extending the temporary restraining order was not justified at that time. The Court did not, and has not, made any determination as to the mootness of this case at this time. The parties should be prepared to discuss whether this case is moot at the July 22, 2025 status conference.(BIB) (Entered: 05/08/2025)
