1.

Before this case was transferred to this Court, this Motion had been scheduled to be heard at the same time and date (April 2, 2010, 9 am) as Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction; and New America Foundation's Reply Brief in Further Support of its Motion for Leave to File a Brief as Amicus Curiae had been due on March 19, 2010. Following that transfer, that hearing date was vacated [Accompanying Declaration of Gautam Dutta ¶¶ 2-3].

2.

Before this case was transferred to this Court, the hearing on Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction had been rescheduled on two occasions. The hearing had originally been noticed for March 12, 2010. After being continued to March 19, 2010, the hearing had been rescheduled for April 2, 2010. Id.

On March 19, 2010, this Court issued an order shortening the time prescribed for the hearing on Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction to April 1, 2010, 1:30
