The complaint further alleges the

of Order Nos. 8 and 9 as moot and to
stay all proceedings with respect to
TZA. On January 18, 2022, Monsta and
Juno filed responses in opposition to
Easton’s motion. On January 20, Easton
filed a motion for leave to file a reply
to Monsta’s and Juno’s oppositions.
On January 5, 2022, Easton filed a
petition for review and vacatur of Order
Nos. 8 and 9 in view of its motion to
withdraw its complaint with respect to
TZA and to terminate TZA from this
investigation.

Lower Hudson River. The consent
decree entered by the Court on
September 27, 2011 provides for JCMUA

consent decree, among other things: (1)
Expands injunctive relief requirements
