The Court held a hearing by video conference on June 14, 2023, which was attended by counsel for Plaintiff only. During the hearing, Plaintiff directed the Court to evidence supporting the Motion. None of the Defendants formally responded to the Motion, nor have they made any appearance or filing in this case, either individually or through counsel.2 Because Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for the issuance of a preliminary injunction, the Court grants the Motion.
