ORDER Re: 32 Statement. The Court has reviewed the parties' joint statement (Dkt. No. 32 ) and is concerned regarding the duplicity of plaintiffs' request.

Department of Education, Case No. 25-1228 (W.D. Wash.). The Court understands the issue regarding standing. The Court is not requesting clarification of that issue but rather the scope of relief requested that has not already been granted. Plaintiff's Proposed Form or Order due by 12/26/2025, at 12:00 PM.
