ORDER DRAWING CASE by Magistrate Judge Richard T. Gurley on 6/22/2026. After review pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 8.1(a), the court has determined that this case does not appear to be appropriate for summary dismissal. Therefore, the case will be drawn to a presiding judge. See D.C.COLO.LCivR 8.1(c). Based on the pending motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, and D.C.COLO.LCivR 40.1(c)(2)(a), the case may not be directly assigned to a magistrate judge. Accordingly, it is ordered that this case be drawn to a district judge. (Case randomly reassigned to Judge Nina Y. Wang and drawn to Magistrate Judge Scott T. Varholak for all further proceedings. All future pleadings should be designated as 26-cv-01772-NYW). For all non-e-filer pro se parties, a copy of this document has been sent via U.S. Mail to the mailing address of record.
