CONSENT ORDER
Upon agreement of the parties, it is ORDERED that the joint motion to dismiss (doc. no.
69) is granted and that defendant George C. Smith, Jr. is dismissed without prejudice from this
action. Defendant Smith and his employees, agents, and successors in office shall be bound by
the terms of any temporary restraining order and/or injunction issued against the Alabama
Attorney General and/or any of the other defendants by any court in this action so long as such
relief remains in effect as to any party. However, defendant Smith and his employees, agents,
and successors shall not be liable for any award of attorneys’ fees, costs, or other monetary
damages that might be included as part of such relief. Nor shall defendant Smith and his
employees, agents, and successors be bound by any relief that subsequently is reversed, vacated,
set aside, or otherwise limited as to the Alabama Attorney General and/or any other defendants.
However, defendant Smith, his employees, agents, and successors may take no enforcement
action premised on a violation of section 4(c) of HB 57 that occurred while such relief was in
effect.
It is further ORDERED that the clerk of the court is to terminate defendant Smith as a
party.
