MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: For the foregoing reasons, the Court finds that Putative Intervenors' Motion to Intervene (ECF No. 129) should be and is hereby GRANTED. The Court also finds that Plaintiffs' Motions for Summary Judgment and Permanent Injunction (ECF Nos. 132, 135) should be and are hereby GRANTED in part. The Court SEVERS Plaintiffs' APA and RFRA claims from their Title VII, Spending Clause, First Amendment, Tenth Amendment, and Eleventh Amendment claims. The Court ADOPTS its prior reasoning from the preliminary injunction (ECF No. 62) and now HOLDS that the Rule violates the APA and RFRA. Accordingly, the Court VACATES and REMANDS the Rule for further consideration. (Ordered by Judge Reed C. O'Connor on 10/15/2019) (skg) |
