                               ______________

                            On Appeal from the United States
                      District Court for the District of New Jersey
                              (D.C. Civil No. 1-21-cv-19457)
                     District Judge: Honorable Christine P. O’Hearn

             Before: HARDIMAN, PORTER, and MATEY, Circuit Judges
                              ______________

                                  JUDGMENT ORDER
                                    ______________

       On May 17, 2023, Appellee moved to dismiss this appeal as moot. Having
considered the parties’ arguments, we conclude that the appeal is moot and dismissal is
appropriate. We express no opinion on whether the case itself is moot, and leave that
question for the District Court to consider on remand. Our decision is limited solely to the
appeal of the denial of a preliminary injunction. It is accordingly hereby ORDERED that
the appeal is dismissed and the matter REMANDED to the District Court for further
proceedings.

                                                        By the Court,

                                                        s/ Paul B. Matey
                                                        Circuit Judge
