10/16/2018 116 PAPERLESS ORDER granting Alliance for Therapeutic Choice’s Motion for Leave to File Amicus Brief 115 . The Court has “inherent authority” to grant such motions when the Court finds that amici may be able to present the Court with additional research and information. See In re Bayshore Food Trucks Sales, Inc., 471 F.3d 1233, 1249, n.34 (11th Cir. 2006). It is “solely within the discretion of the court to determine the fact, extent, and manner of participation of the amicus.” Resort Timeshare Resales, Inc. v. Stuart, 764 F. Supp. 1495, 1501 (S.D. Fla. 1991). The Court grants permission to the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice to file its brief in support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction. The Court notes that other amicus briefs in this case had been due by September 18, 2018, DE 73. However, because the Alliance for Therapeutic Choice will be the first amicus to appear in support of the Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction, the Court finds it appropriate to permit this filing at this time. The Court also notes that the Brief filed conditionally with the Alliance’s Motion at DE 115-1 is twenty-two pages. The other amicus briefs in this case were limited to twenty pages, DE 73, DE 90, DE 91. However, because there are two amicus briefs filed in opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction, the Court finds it appropriate to permit this slight extension of the Alliance’s brief. Accordingly, the Alliance’s Motion 115 is granted, and the Court accepts the Amicus Brief as submitted at DE 115-1. Signed by Judge Robin L. Rosenberg on 10/16/2018. (kbs) (Entered: 10/16/2018)

08/11/2022 158 PAPERLESS ORDER on the Plaintiffs’ Second Reply at docket entry 157, in connection with the Plaintiffs’ Motion to Lift Stay at docket entry 150, filed on August 4, 2022. In the Second Reply, the Plaintiffs represent to this Court that, if it “declines or delays [the entry of a preliminary injunction] beyond 5 p.m. on August 15, 2022, Plaintiffs will have no choice but to treat the Court’s delay as tantamount to denial, and to seek emergency relief from the Eleventh Circuit.” The Court’s “delay” is not tantamount to denial, as the Court has neither delayed in its resolution of the pending motion nor denied the pending motion. As for denial, the Court has yet to enter a decision. As to delay, the motion has, as of the time of entry of this order, been ripe for but a few hours. The Court will rule on the motion as soon as its resources permit it to do so. The Eleventh Circuit’s mandate to this Court is for it to enter a preliminary injunction “consistent with this opinion.” The Eleventh Circuit’s mandate is not for the Court to enter a preliminary injunction as unilaterally drafted by the Plaintiffs. The Court will carefully consider the briefing in connection with the pending motion and, as soon as it is able to do so, enter a ruling on the motion. The Court has not yet decided whether it will set a hearing on the motion and, if so, when the hearing will be held. Signed by Judge Robin L. Rosenberg (bkd) (Entered: 08/11/2022)
