On February 15, 2019, Intervenors Arkansas Department of Education and Arkansas State

dated January 17, 2019, pending the resolution of the ADE and SBE’s appeal of the same. On
March 1, 2019, Defendant Hope School District (“Hope”) filed a response in opposition to that
motion. On March 4, 2019, Plaintiffs filed the instant motion, asking the Court for leave to adopt
by reference Hope’s response and brief opposing the ADE and SBE’s motion to stay.
Upon consideration, the Court finds that good cause for the motion has been shown.
Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ motion (ECF No. 185) is hereby GRANTED. The Court shall treat
Hope’s response and brief as having been adopted by reference by Plaintiffs.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 5th day of March, 2019.
