TEXT ORDER: Defendants' Motion to Stay Deadline to Respond to Preliminary Injunction Motion, or in the Alternative, for a Briefing Schedule, ECF No. 18, is denied in part and granted in part. The Court is required to continue its constitutional functions, and therefore the request for a stay is DENIED. Department of Justice contingency plan states: "If a court denies such a request [to stay or continue] and orders a case to continue, the Government will comply with the court's order, which would constitute express legal authorization for the activity to continue." In light of the parties' agreement that the defendants will not enforce the challenged provision before November 14, 2025, the revised proposed briefing scheduled is GRANTED. Defendants shall file their response to the preliminary injunction motion by October 22, 2025 and Plaintiffs shall file their reply by October 29, 2025. So Ordered by District Judge Melissa R. DuBose on 10/6/2025. (Urizandi, Nissheneyra)
