ORDER
On February 6, 2023, Defendants filed their Assertion of Mootness (ECF No. 221). Plaintiffs
filed their Response (ECF No. 224) on February 13, 2023, and Defendants filed their Reply (ECF No.
226) on February 21, 2023. In their Reply, Defendants argue that the Navy’s newly updated standard
operating guidance, issued on February 15, 2023, further reinforces their position that all of Plaintiffs’
claims are moot. Since filing their Reply, Defendants have filed a Notice of Additional Guidance
Regarding Recission of DOD Covid-19 Vaccination Requirement (ECF No. 230) on February 28,
2023. Plaintiffs’ sur-reply, set to be filed on or before March 8, 2023, SHALL address this latest
development in addition to all other relevant issues.
SO ORDERED on this 1st day of March, 2023.
Case 4:21-cv-01236-O Document 231 Filed 03/01/23 Page 1 of 1 PageID 7726
