DEFENDANTS. § 

I) 1 0 ai On April 9, 2020, this court entered an Order Granting Plaintiffs' Second Motion for a 

Temporary Restraining Order (Dkt. #63). On April 20, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals 

for the Fifth Circuit issued an opinion on several Defendants' request for a writ of mandamus and 

directed this court to 

vacate any part of the April 9 TRO that (1) restrains enforcement of 

GA-09 as a "categorical ban on all abortions provided by Plaintiffs;" 

(2) restrains the Governor and Attorney General; (3) restrains 

enforcement of GA-09 after 11:59 p.m. on April 21, 2020; (4) 

restrains enforcement of GA-09 as to medication abortions; and (5) 

restrains enforcement of GA-09 as to abortions for patients who will 

reach 18 weeks LMP during the operation of GA-09 and would be 

"unlikely" to obtain abortion services in Texas. 

In re Abbott, No. 20-50296 (April 20, 2020). Solely because of the circuit court's order, this court 

VACATES only the following portions of the court's April 9, 2020 Order:
