MINUTES of Proceedings: Motion Hearing Held before Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai regarding Motion for Preliminary Injunction 4 . For the reasons explained at length on the record, the Court concludes that a preliminary injunction is appropriate. Plaintiffs, seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government, must show that (1) they are likely to succeed on the merits; (2) they are likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief; and (3) the balance of equities tips in their favor and an injunction is in the public interest. Winter v. Nat. Res. Defense Council, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008); Nken v. Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 434 (2009). The Court finds that the unrebutted evidence Plaintiffs submitted is credible and compelling. The evidence persuasively establishes that all elements of a preliminary injunction are met. Accordingly, Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (ECF No. 4 ) is GRANTED, effective immediately. Further, the Court adopts the arguments raised in Plaintiffs' Motion and Reply (ECF No. 60 ) and orders that the exclusionary period is extended until April 9, 2026. For the reasons stated on the record, the Court declines to impose a bond under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65. Defendants' Motion for a Stay is DENIED. Finally, the parties are ordered to confer and submit a proposed joint scheduling order addressing pre-trial litigation deadlines by January 15, 2026. Molly Thomas-Jensen, Leanne Hartmann and Derek Olson present as counsel for plaintiffs. Tyler Becker present as counsel for defendants. (FTR - Eugene Courtroom 1.) (bd) (Entered: 12/15/2025)
