PENDING BEFORE THE COURT for resolution is the Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel
Production of Documents to which Defendant has filed a Memorandum of Law in Opposition.1
The Court has carefully considered the submissions of the parties, including the supporting
declarations of Mr. Medlock and Mr. Cash.2 The Court has also reviewed the procedural history
of this case, including the temporal allegation of Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint and the
Court’s specific finding following the two-day hearing on Plaintiffs’ first motion for temporary
injunctive relief that this was “not a close case” with regard to Plaintiffs substantial likelihood of
prevailing on the merits, a finding the Court relied on in denying Plaintiffs’ second motion for
temporary injunctive relief.3 Taking all of these factors into consideration, it is ORDERED
