16

irreparable harm for Gilbane Federal. The Court will, however, hear Gilbane Federal's motion for

17

anti-suit injunction on an expedited schedule. The hearing is set for September 18, 2014 at 2 p.m.

The opposition brief from the defendants is due on Tuesday, September 9, and any reply brief is

due on Monday, September 15.

Gilbane must serve this order on defendants by email and FedEx, as laid out in the Court's

22

notice of this order to Robert Nichols of Covington and Burling LLP, who may be able to ensure
