JOINT STIPULATION TO VACATE PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND ORDER
MARSHA J. PECHMAN, District Judge.
Plaintiffs Ryan Karnoski, Staff Sergeant Cathrine Schmid, D.L., Chief Warrant Officer Lindsey Muller, Petty Officer First Class Terece Lewis, Petty Officer Second Class Phillip Stephens, Petty Officer Second Class Megan Winters, Jane Doe, Human Rights Campaign, Gender Justice League, and American Military Partners Association n/k/a Modern Military Association of America (collectively "Plaintiffs"), Plaintiff-Intervenor State of Washington, and Defendants Donald J. Trump, Mark Esper, and the United States Department of Defense (collectively "Defendants," and together with Plaintiffs and Plaintiff-Intervenor, "Parties") hereby stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS, this Court granted Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction on December 11, 2017 (Dkt. No. 103).
WHEREAS, this Court struck Defendants' motion to dissolve the preliminary injunction on April 13, 2018 (Dkt. No. 233).
WHEREAS, the Ninth Circuit vacated and remanded this Court's order striking Defendants' motion to dissolve and further held that "[i]f Plaintiffs no longer wish to pursue a preliminary injunction, they may so advise the district court on remand" (Dkt. No. 338 at 58.)
WHEREAS, the Parties disagreed whether their discovery disputes should be resolved first before any resolution of Defendants' motion to dissolve (Dkt. No. 341), and this Court ordered that "[i]f Plaintiffs wish to file an opposition to Defendants' motion to dissolve, they must do so on or before August 2, 2019" (Dkt. No. 344).
NOW THEREFORE, the Parties, through their respective counsel of record, do hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
After the Ninth Circuit's issuance of the mandate, the preliminary injunction should be vacated based on the stipulation of the Parties, without prejudice to any renewed motion for a preliminary injunction.
SO STIPULATED.
Respectfully submitted August 2, 2019.
