The Court DENIES the Motion. The Motion does not seek to preserve the status quo, but rather, to obtain the very substantive relief set forth in the Petition. The Court will decide the Petition on the expedited case management order that will issue forthwith.Signed by Judge William S. Stickman on 9/30/26. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue.
