You are incorrect, there have been no orders issued by the judge,
and it is highly unlikely that the court will issue a preliminary
injunction prior to allowing both sides to brief the case.

One might conclude that legal counsel have advised the defendants
(Arthur David Olson and Paul Eggert) to do so. On the tz list, it was
speculated that this related to damages in the potential event oftheir
losing the suit.

I will keep the tz@iana.org list up to date with filings in the case,
as I am privileged to receive email updates from the Court.

Issues with RECAP are fixed now,  so
http://www.archive.org/download/gov.uscourts.mad.139342/gov.uscourts.mad.139342.docket.html
and also these presentations that lag it by a bit that some might prefer:
http://archive.recapthelaw.org/mad/139342/
http://www.archive.org/details/gov.uscourts.mad.139342/

should be up to-date (I will commit to keeping it up to date within a
day, and probably more like within the hour, of any court filings).
