On November 29, 2011, Defendants in this action filed an interlocutory appeal of this Court’s November 7, 2011 order granting Plaintiffs’ request for a preliminary injunction (“PI Order”). See Dkt. No. 45. As this Court recognized in its scheduling hearing of August 23, 2011, the Court’s decision on summary judgment regarding the validity of the Rule will inevitably be appealed as well. Plaintiffs therefore respectfully request that this Court grant expedited review of the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. Granting Plaintiffs’ motion would further judicial economy. Because this Court addressed the merits of the parties’ claims in great detail in its preliminary injunction ruling, Plaintiffs believe that this Court could rule on the summary judgment cross-motions expeditiously.
