06/27/2019 39 ORDER denying (79) Motion to Continue in case 1:19-cv-04676-PAE. The Court denies defendants’ request in its entirety. Unless and until defendants either (1) supply conclusive evidence that the effective date of the Final Rule has been officially postponed; or (2) consent to a Court order that would enjoin defendants from enforcing, applying, or taking any action to implement the Final Rule until resolution of the preliminary injunction motions, the existing briefing and argument schedule remains in effect. For avoidance of doubt, defendants’ opposition to plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction remain due tomorrow, June 28, 2019. The Court will construe a failure to file opposition submissions on this date as signifying that defendants do not oppose plaintiffs’ application for preliminary relief. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 6/27/2019) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:19-cv-04676-PAE, 1:19-cv-05433-PAE, 1:19-cv-05435-PAE (ks) (Entered: 06/27/2019)
06/27/2019 40 ORDER denying (83) Letter Motion for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply in case 1:19-cv-04676-PAE. Denied. The Court set this schedule over a month ago on June 13, 2019. See Dkt. 38. Plaintiffs’ reply is due July 5, 2019. See id. Extending defendants’ time to respond at this late juncture would require plaintiffs to spend the entirety of the week of the July 4 holiday drafting a reply brief, without the benefit of a weekend. The Court carefully considered the schedule it set on June 13, 2019 and declines to modify it at this late stage. SO ORDERED.. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 6/27/2019) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:19-cv-04676-PAE, 1:19-cv-05433-PAE, 1:19-cv-05435-PAE (ks) (Entered: 06/27/2019)
06/28/2019 41 ORDER: The Court late yesterday denied, by memo endorsement, a letter motion in which defendants sought to extend today’s deadline to file an opposition to plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction until July 1, 2019. Dkt. 84. That ruling stands and the deadline for defendants’ opposition to plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction remains today. The Court, however, wishes to correct a factual error in yesterday’s memo endorsement. The Court erroneously recited the date of the Order in which it set a briefing schedule on the preliminary injunction motion. That Order issued on June 7, 2019, Dkt. 27, and gave defendants two weeks, i.e., until June 28, 2019, to respond to plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction, which under the Order was due, and which was timely filed, on June 14, 2019, Dkt. 41. The Court is mindful of counsels’ understandable desire for additional time to brief the significant issues raised by the pending motions and shares all counsels’ view that the process of reliable adjudication benefits from a measured briefing process. The Court is further mindful that counsel for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) earlier this week sought additional time based on a representation by counsel that HHS will delay enforcement of the HHS rule at issue until November 22, 2019. Dkt. 79. The Court denied that request because HHS had not postponed the rule’s effective date, Dkt. 82, and, without such a postponement, plaintiffs viably claimed a risk of harm, see Dkt. 80. For avoidance of doubt, the Court clarifies that, in the event of an official postponement of the effective date of the rule to November 22, 2019, the Court would suspend today’s deadline for an opposition brief, set a new and more protracted schedule for submission of the remaining briefs on plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motions, and thereafter entertain applications to litigate this case instead, as defendants have proposed, via cross-motions for summary judgment. Absent an official postponement of the effective date, however, the present briefing schedule stands. (Signed by Judge Paul A.

ENDORSEMENT: The Court grants the proposed amici curiae leave to submit the proposed brief and accompanying declarations and exhibits and accepts them for consideration. The Court reserves judgment on whether to permit counsel for the proposed amici curiae to present oral argument on the plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction. SO ORDERED.

07/01/2019 45 STIPULATED REQUEST FOR AN ORDER TO POSTPONE RULE’S EFFECTIVE DATE; TO SUSPEND DEFENDANTS’ DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS’ PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION MOTIONS; AND TO VACATE THE CURRENT BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND HEARING DATE [5 U.S.C. § 705]. Subject to the Court’s approval, the parties through their undersigned counsel of record HEREBY STIPULATE as follows: 1. At present, Defendants’ opposition to Plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction is due on June 28, 2019, Plaintiffs’ reply is due on July 5, 2019, and a hearing is scheduled on July 12, 2019. 2. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) agrees to postpone the effective date of the rule titled Protecting Statutory Conscience Rights in Health Care; Delegations of Authority, 84 Fed. Reg. 23, 170 (May 21, 2019) (“Final Rule”), until November 22, 2019. HHS stipulates to this postponement because it is the most efficient way to adjudicate the Final Rule on the merits. HHS does not concede that Plaintiffs are “likely to succeed on the merits, that [they are] likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balance of equities tips in [their] favor, [or] that an injunction is in the public interest.” See Winter v. NRDC, 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008). 3. Plaintiffs maintain that-for the reasons expressed in their motions for a preliminary injunction and their opposition to Defendants’ motion to continue the deadline to respond to Plaintiffs’ motions-Plaintiffs would suffer various irreparable injuries were the Final Rule’s effective date not postponed. 4. The parties request that the Court issue an order, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 705, that the effective date of the Final Rule is postponed until November 22, 2019. 5. The parties further request, in light of this postponement, that the Court suspend the June 28, 2019 deadline for Defendants’ opposition brief and set a new and more protracted schedule for submission of the remaining briefs on Plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motions. 6. The parties agree to meet and confer to determine whether they can reach an agreement on a proposed schedule to resolve this case through cross-motions for summary judgment prior to the Final Rule’s new November 22, 2019 effective date. PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED. The effective date of the Final Rule is postponed until November 22, 2019. See 5 U.S.C. § 705. Defendants’ June 28, 2019 deadline to respond to Plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motions is suspended, and the preliminary injunction briefing schedule and hearing date set forth in the Court’s June 7, 2019 and June 13, 2019 Orders is vacated. This order is without prejudice to the merits. The following deadline(s) was terminated: Reply Deadline. Response Deadline. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 6/28/2019) (rjm) (Entered: 07/01/2019)
07/01/2019 46 ORDER. The Court has today issued the agreed-upon Order proposed by the parties at Dkt. 87-1. The Court’s Order postpones the effective date of the United States Department of Health and Human Services’ (“HHS”) rule at issue in this litigation (“Final Rule”) until November 22, 2019. The Order further vacates the preliminary injunction briefing schedule set forth in the Court’s June 7, 2019, Dkt. 27, and June 13, 2019, Dkt. 38, Orders. In light of the above, it is no longer necessary for the conference scheduled for Friday, July 12, 2019 to serve as a hearing on plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motions. The Court wishes, however, promptly to put in place a schedule in this matter. The Court directs counsel for all parties in the consolidated cases comprising this litigation forthwith to meet and confer with the goals of (1) proposing a briefing schedule on plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motions, and (2) exploring whether a viable schedule can be agreed to that would permit the legality of HHS’s Final Rule to be resolved instead on motions or cross-motions for summary judgment and, if so, proposing such a schedule. In considering a suitable schedule for any contemplated motion, the Court expects counsel to be mindful of the Court’s interest in having sufficient time, following the completion of briefing, to hold oral argument and to consider and thoughtfully resolve the important and complex questions presented. The Court directs counsel to submit a joint letter, due at 12 noon on Wednesday, July 10, 2019, setting forth the parties’ joint proposals-or, if agreement is not reached, the parties’ alternative proposals-as to such schedules. If the Court determines that further consultation would assist it in setting a schedule, the Court will use the conference currently scheduled for Friday, July 12, 2019, at 2:00 p.m., to take up such questions with counsel. The Court accordingly asks lead counsel to remain available to attend a conference at that date and time, in courtroom 1305 of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, at 40 Centre Street. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 7/1/2019) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:19-cv-04676 PAE, 1:19-cv-05433-PAE, 1:19-cv-05435-PAE (rjm) (Entered: 07/01/2019)
07/02/2019 47 ORDER. The Court yesterday adjourned the briefing schedule it had set for preliminary injunction motions in light of the parties’ consent to an Order postponing the effective date of HHS’s Final Rule until November 22, 2019. Dkt. 90. The Court will soon receive the parties’ input as to the nature of the motions that will henceforth be made and the schedule for briefing them. In light of this development, the Court adjourns the deadlines it had set for submission of amicus briefs, which deadlines had been tied to the preliminary injunction schedule. The Court expects that the schedule the parties will propose will include dates for the submission of amicus briefs. For avoidance of doubt, to the extent that an amicus has submitted a brief in this case, such filing will not preclude that amicus from filing a new (superseding) brief on the schedule to be set. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 7/2/2019) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:19-cv-04676-PAE, 1:19-cv-05433-PAE, 1:19-cv-05435-PAE. (rjm) (Entered: 07/02/2019)

07/11/2019 50 ORDER: The Court has received the parties’ joint letter outlining potential briefing and argument schedules and raising the question whether the motion to be litigated is properly one for a preliminary injunction or for summary judgment based on the administrative record. The Court thanks counsel for a thoughtful and informative letter. The Court’s judgment is that it would benefit, in deciding on the proper course, from a conference with counsel. The Court accordingly will utilize the conference scheduled for tomorrow, July 12, 2019, at 2:00 p.m., for that purpose. For avoidance of doubt, the Court will not use tomorrow’s conference to take up merits issues. The Court does expect, however, that counsel come prepared knowledgably to discuss the nature of the issues to be litigated; the scale and nature of the administrative record; the relationship and interplay between this case and apparently parallel litigation in the Northern District of California; whether there is logic to litigating contemporaneously a motion for a preliminary injunction alongside a motion for summary judgment; and the arguments for and against various proposed schedules. The Court expects to resolve these questions at or shortly following tomorrow’s hearing. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 7/11/2019) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:19-cv-04676-PAE, 1:19-cv-05433-PAE, 1:19-cv-05435-PAE(rj) (Entered: 07/11/2019)

07/16/2019 57 ORDER terminating (88) Letter Motion for Leave to File Document in case 1:19-cv-04676-PAE. The Court accordingly sets the following schedule: July 22, 2019: Defendants produce the administrative record (“A.R.”) to plaintiffs and file a certified list of the contents of the A.R. with the Court. August 14, 2019: Defendants file their motion for summary judgment and their opposition to plaintiffs’ motions for a preliminary injunction. Defendants are to file a single brief addressing these subjects. August 21, 2019: Amicus briefs supporting defendants are to be filed. September 5, 2019: Plaintiffs file their oppositions to defendants’ summary judgment motion, their cross-motions for summary judgment, and their replies in support of their motions for a preliminary injunction. Plaintiffs are to file single briefs addressing these subjects. September 12, 2019: Amicus briefs supporting plaintiffs are to be filed. September 19, 2019: Defendants file their reply in support of the motion for summary judgment and their opposition to plaintiffs’ motions for summary judgment. Defendants are to file a single brief addressing these subjects. October 3, 2019: Plaintiffs file their reply briefs in support of their motions for summary judgment. October 18, 2019: Oral argument will be held, beginning at 9:30 a.m., at the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, N.Y. 10007. The courtroom at which argument will be held is to be determined. As to the mechanics of briefing, although the Court expects that the plaintiffs will coordinate amongst themselves to avoid unnecessary duplication of briefing, the Court does not direct that plaintiffs file a single consolidated brief but will allow two separate briefs, one each from the government plaintiffs (19 Civ. 4676) and the provider plaintiffs (19 Civ. 5433 and 19 Civ. 5435). The Court sets the following page limits for each party’s submissions. Defendants’ opening brief (due August 14) is limited to 80 pages. Plaintiffs’ briefs (due September 5) are limited to 50 pages each. Defendants’ brief (due September 19) is limited to 50 pages. Plaintiffs’ reply briefs (due October 3) are limited to 30 pages each. All amicus briefs are limited to 25 pages. The Court is conscious that there is a pending motion to intervene in this case, see Dkts. 64, 109, that will become fully briefed today. The Court will address the proposed intervenor’s participation in the schedule, if necessary, upon resolution of that motion. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A.
