ORDER

WILLIAM T. MOORE, JR., District Judge.

Before the Court is Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction. (Doc. 8.) On September 14, 2018, the Food and Nutrition Service ("FNS") withdrew Plaintiffs' authorization to participate as a retailer in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program ("SNAP"). (Doc. 32 at 5.) FNS informed Plaintiffs that they may reapply for authorization as a SNAP retailer at any time. (Id.) Instead, Plaintiffs sought administrative review of FNS' decision to withdraw Plaintiffs' SNAP authorization. (Id. at 5.) After an administrative review, FNS affirmed the decision to withdraw Plaintiffs' SNAP authorization. (Id. at 6.) Subsequently, on May 23, 2019, Plaintiffs filed their complaint with this Court, requesting only that the Court "reverse the Department's determination and find that the [Plaintiffs] should have been reauthorized." (Doc. 1 at 6.)

On July 22, 2019, pursuant to 7 U.S.C. § 2023(a)(17), Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Preliminary Injunction requesting that the Court enjoin the Government from suspending or terminating the Plaintiffs' SNAP authorization. (Doc. 8.) Plaintiffs have requested a hearing on their Motion for Preliminary Injunction. (Doc. 29 at 2.) At the time Plaintiffs filed their motion, Plaintiffs had not reapplied for SNAP authorization. (Doc. 32 at 6-7.)

Plaintiffs have now reapplied for SNAP authorization. (Doc. 38.) On February 5, 2020, the Government filed a Notice of Status Update informing the Court that, on January 6, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a renewed application for SNAP authorization. (Id. at 1.) However, FNS determined that Plaintiffs' application was missing several documents, and Plaintiff provided the missing documents on January 29, 2020.1 (Id.)

Pursuant to 7 C.F.R. § 278.1(a), "FNS shall approve or deny the application within 45 days of receipt of a completed application." Accordingly, if Plaintiffs' application was complete on January 29, FNS should approve or deny Plaintiffs' application by March 14, 2020—that is, 45 days after Plaintiffs submitted the application. Moreover, if FNS approves Plaintiffs' application for SNAP authorization, Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction will become moot because SNAP reauthorization is the only relief requested by Plaintiffs. See Cook v. Randolph Cty., 573 F.3d 1143, 1156 n. 7 (11th Cir. 2009) (noting that matter becomes moot when relief requested has already been independently provided).

In the event that FNS denies Plaintiffs' application, the Court is required to hold a hearing on Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Accordingly, the Court has scheduled this hearing for April 2, 2020 at 3:00 PM in Savannah, Georgia. The parties will be required to file updated briefings no less than ten (10) days prior to the hearing. As a result, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to ADMINISTRATIVELY TERMINATE Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 8) until April 2, 2020.

SO ORDERED.
