On August 4, 2015, this court entered an order 

temporarily enjoining enforcement of the requirements 

of Alabama Administrative Code § 420-5-1-.03(6)(b) 

against plaintiffs West Alabama Women’s Center and 

William J. Parker, M.D. By its terms, that order will

the agreement of the parties during an on-the-record 

conference call held August 14, 2015, and for good 

Case 2:15-cv-00497-MHT-TFM Document 26 Filed 08/17/15 Page 1 of 2
cause shown, it is ORDERED that the temporary 

restraining order (doc. no. 20) shall remain in effect 

until September 1, 2015, at 2:00 p.m.

It is further ORDERED that the temporary 

restraining order (doc. no 20) is amended to reflect 

the additional requirement stated in this court’s 

temporary-restraining-order opinion (doc. no. 22) that 

the plaintiffs shall continue to engage in good-faith 

efforts to comply with the regulation as long as the 

order remains in effect.

It is further ORDERED that an on-the-record 

telephone conference is set for August 26, 2015, at 

2:00 p.m., to determine whether the temporary 

restraining order (doc. no. 20) should be extended

beyond September 1, 2015, or, instead, whether the 

court should hold a hearing on the motion for 

preliminary injunction (doc. no. 3).

DONE, this the 17th day of August, 2015.
