Isabella Casillas Guzman, et al., Case No. 4:21-cv-00677-O, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division. The plaintiffs agree that the claims of the Funded Plaintiffs have become moot and that the Lynds Inn plaintiffs can no longer seek declaratory or injunctive relief because the appropriated money has been spent. They state they will prepare a third amended complaint limited to parties alleging damages under Bivens. The three-page response is signed by Jonathan F. Mitchell as counsel for plaintiffs and the proposed class, with a certificate of service on Department of Justice counsel.

Isabella Casillas Guzman, et al., Defendants. Case No. 4:21-cv-00677-O PLAINTIFFS’ RESPONSE TO OFFICIAL-CAPACITY DEFENDANTS’ PARTIAL MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF SUBJECT-MATTER JURISDICTION In light of the representations made in the defendants’ motion to dismiss, the plaintiffs agree that the claims asserted by the “Funded Plaintiffs” have become moot. The plaintiffs also agree that the Lynds Inn plaintiffs can no longer seek declaratory or injunctive relief given that the appropriated money has been spent. The plaintiffs will prepare a third amended complaint limited to the parties alleging damages under Bivens, and we will either file it with the consent of the defendants or seek leave of court to do so.
