ORDER GRANTING TEMPORARY STAY
The trial court issued an order granting plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunctive relief and denying defendants' motion to dismiss. Defendants filed a petition asking this court to issue either a peremptory writ of mandamus vacating the preliminary injunction or an alternative writ of mandamus directing the court to vacate the preliminary injunction or show cause for not doing so. Defendants also filed an emergency motion for an order to stay the preliminary injunction while this court considers its mandamus petition. Plaintiffs and intervenors filed objections to the emergency motion.
This court has considered defendants’ emergency motion and plaintiffs’ and intervenors’ objections, including the factors each identified as relevant to whether this court should issue a stay. The emergency motion is granted. The trial court's preliminary injunction is stayed pending this court's resolution of defendants' mandamus petition.
Plaintiffs’ and intervenors’ responses to the mandamus petition are due as soon as practicable and no later than May 22, 2020.
