  Hi Kate,


  The Court is not holding a PI hearing and just issued an order removing the hearing. See
  ECF No. 17. Additionally, this case is essentially resolved, as the Parties were ordered to file
  the agreement with the Court. Therefore, we believe any brief is improper. We oppose.


  Sincerely,

  Mark
