ORDER

Although defendant Julie Magee filed a motion to

dismiss on December 9, 2011, she did not raise the issue

of mootness until December 29, with the filing of an

evidentiary submission of “Revised Instructions

Concerning Act No. 2011-535, Beason-Hammon Alabama

Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act.” While, with a

brief filed on December 30, the plaintiffs anticipated

that Magee might be contending that this case is moot,

Magee did not formally argue the issue until she filed a

brief on January 9, 2012. The court is also concerned

that, even if this lawsuit is not moot, the preliminary

injunction may no longer be necessary. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

(1) Defendant Julie Magee’s motion to dismiss (Doc.

No. 85) is reset for submission, without oral argument,

on January 31, 2012.

(2) By January 17, 2012, the defendants are to file

a brief on whether the court’s preliminary injunction is

still necessary.

(3) By January 24, 2012, the plaintiffs are to file

a brief on whether this case is moot and, if not, whether

the preliminary injunction is still necessary.

(4) By January 31, 2012, the defendants may file a

reply.

In their briefs, the parties should also address

whether the court may dissolve a preliminary injunction

while the injunction is on appeal.

DONE, this the 10th day of January, 2012.
