MINUTE ORDER. The hearing on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment scheduled for April 23, 2020, is hereby vacated. The looming deadline to submit premarket applications will be extended by at least 120 days, as the Fourth Circuit has granted the government's motion for a limited remand. The urgency to hold a hearing remotely on the complex issues presented in the parties' motions has thus abated. For these same reasons, the court denies Plaintiffs' request for expedited treatment on their Consolidated Motion, ECF No. 194 . The parties shall meet and confer and, by April 23, 2020, propose a schedule with respect to the Consolidated Motion and the Motion for Preliminary Injunction, ECF No. 195 , as well as a new hearing date on all pending motions.
