OPINION AND ORDER. In sum, the Court rejects Defendants' arguments that the motion for injunctive relief is moot and that the Moving Plaintiffs lack standing. The Moving Plaintiffs have demonstrated a clear and substantial likelihood of success on the merits of their APA claims concerning Section 1301 and Section 718 (which Defendants do not contest), a strong showing of imminent and irreparable harm, and that the balance of equities and public interest support a temporary restraining order. Therefore, the Court grants the Moving Plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order and stay, as stated in its October 11, 2026 Order. Dkt. 41. (Signed by Judge Jennifer L. Rochon on 10/12/2026) (aba)
