under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(d)(2)(C), and that LMD, as a contractor that is in active concert and participation with Defendants, is enjoined from continuing to run or place the
challenged advertisements; and it is further
ORDERED that Defendants will file a status report within 24 hours of the entry of this temporary restraining order and Section 705 stay, confirming compliance with this Order; and it
is further

ORDERED that, in the Court's discretion, Plaintiffs shall not be required to post a bond.Case 1:26-cv-08882-JLR Document 41 Filed 10/11/26 Page 4 of 4
