ion of this court as necessary to enforce the Permanent Injunction. Signed by District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree on 1/3/2025. (mam)MEMORANDUM AND ORDER. Plaintiffs Fresh Vision OP, Inc., James Muir, and Chengny Thao's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction (Doc. 2) is granted in part and denied in part. Those same plaintiffs also prevail, in part, at trial on the merits of their claim in Count I. The court thus issues a permanent injunction, as set forth below. The court finds for defendants on plaintiffs' facial challenge in Count I. So it denies the other forms of requested relief sought by Count I. On Count II's as applied and facial challenges to the independent expenditure threshold, the court concludes itlacks subject matter jurisdiction over these challenges. Plaintiffs lack standing to assert either claim, so the court dismisses Count II. The court issues the following Permanent Injunction: Defendants and their officers, agents, servants, employees, and other persons acting in concert or participation with them who receive actual notice of this Injunction by personal service or otherwise are permanently enjoined from designating plaintiffs as a "political committee" under Kan. Stat. Ann § 25-4143(l)(1) based on a determination that express advocacy is a major purpose of Fresh Vision. Instead, defendants may designate plaintiffs as a "political committee" under Kan. Stat. Ann § 25-4143(l)(1) based only on a determination that express advocacy is the major purpose of Fresh Vision. All parties shall be subject to the jurisdict |
