ORDER 
 
As requested by the court, the parties have filed a joint proposed docket-
control order. Dkt. 54. Having considered the submission, the court hereby orders 
that the defendants may file a renewed motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter 
jurisdiction by December 15, 2023. If the plaintiffs wish to respond to the 
motion, they must file their response by January 5, 2024. The plaintiffs are also 
welcome, if they prefer, to rely on their response to the defendants’ previously filed 
motion to dismiss. Should the plaintiffs choose this latter course, they should file 
a letter so notifying the court. If the plaintiffs file a response to the renewed motion 
and the defendants wish to reply to it, they must do so by January 12, 2024. 
Once the renewed briefing is complete, the court will rule as expeditiously as 
possible.
