| 8/20/2024 | 212 | FINAL JUDGMENT - Having GRANTED Ryan and Plaintiff-Intervenors' Motions for Summary Judgment, (ECF Nos. 166, 168), and DENIED the FTC's Motion for Summary Judgment, (ECF No. 184), the Court has adjudicated all of Plaintiffs' claims. The Court sets aside the Non-Compete Rule, 16 C.F.R. § 910.1.6, and the Rule shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect on September 4, 2024, or thereafter. This is a final and appealable judgment. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 54. All relief not expressly granted is denied. (Ordered by Judge Ada Brown on 8/20/2024) (chmb) (Entered: 08/20/2024) |

All Parties seek summary judgment on all of Plaintiffs' claims concerning the FTC's "Non-Compete Rule" (sometimes referred to as the "Rule"), 16 C.F.R. § 910.1.6, which makes most non-compete agreements unenforceable. After careful consideration of the motions, briefing, appendix, and applicable law, the Court (i) GRANTS Plaintiffs' Motions for Summary Judgment, and (ii) DENIES the FTC's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. The Court sets aside the Non-Compete Rule. Consequently, the Rule shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect on its effective date of September 4, 2024 or thereafter.

| 5/9/2024 | 34 | ORDER - Before the Court is the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, Business Roundtable, Texas Association of Business, and Longview Chamber of Commerce's ("Intervenors") Unopposed Motion to Intervene as Plaintiffs. (ECF No. 32). The Court, having considered the arguments and evidence of the parties, is of the opinion that Intervenors' motion should be GRANTED as explained hereunder.The Court finds that Intervenors' motion is timely, they have an interest in the subject of the action, the disposition of this action may impair or impede their interest, and their interest may be inadequately represented by the existing parties. The Court further finds that Intervenors have a claim that shares a common question of law or fact with this action and that permitting intervention will not unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the original parties' rights. Thus, it is ordered that Intervenors' Motion to Intervene as Plaintiffs is hereby GRANTED.Further, upon review of Defendant Federal Trade Commissions position on the briefing schedule if intervention is granted, the Court MODIFIES the existing briefing schedule on injunctive relief, (see ECF No. 31), as follows:1. May 29, 2024: Deadline for Defendants' consolidated response, with word limit of 4,250.2. June 12, 2024: Deadline for Intervenors' and Ryan, LLC's replies.3. June 13, 2024: Deadline for Court to notify the parties if a hearing will be held on June 17, 2024.4. June 17, 2024: Potential hearing date on Intervenors' and Ryan, LLC's motions to stay, if the Court deems it necessary.
