ORDER
This cause is before the Court on the following:
1.
Opposed Motion for Reconsideration, or, in the Alternative, Clarification of
the Court’s June 2, 2015 Order (Doc. 46), filed June 5, 2015; and
2.
Defendants’ Amended Motion for Preliminary Injunction or, Alternatively, an
Injunction Pursuant to Inherent Authority, to Preserve the Status Quo and
Enjoin Ongoing Retaliation (Doc. 18), filed March 7, 2015.
The United States (the “Government”) moves for reconsideration or clarification of
the Court’s June 2, 2015 Order (Doc. 41 (“Discovery Order”)) granting the parties to this
qui tam action leave to “conduct discovery on the limited issue of [] causal connection” in
order to determine whether Defendants have a substantial likelihood of success on the
merits of their retaliation claim so as to invoke the Court’s inherent authority to enter a
preliminary injunction. (Doc. 46 (the “Reconsideration Motion”).)
Upon consideration, the Court finds that the Government’s Reconsideration Motion
is due to be granted. A comprehensive written order detailing the Court’s reasoning is
forthcoming.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED:
1.
Opposed Motion for Reconsideration, or, in the Alternative, Clarification of
the Court’s June 2, 2015 Order (Doc. 46) is GRANTED.
2.
The Court’s June 2, 2015 Discovery Order (Doc. 41) is VACATED.
3.
Defendants’ Amended Motion for Preliminary Injunction or, Alternatively, an
Injunction Pursuant to Inherent Authority, to Preserve the Status Quo and
Enjoin Ongoing Retaliation (Doc. 18) is DENIED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on June 15, 2015.
