ORDER ¶1 Held: Where the plaintiff-appellee consented to the requested relief sought by the defendant-appellant to vacate the circuit court’s entry of a temporary restraining order, such relief is granted.

¶2 On April 23, 2020, the plaintiff, Darren Bailey, filed a complaint against the defendant, Governor of Illinois J.B. Pritzker, in the circuit court of Clay County. The complaint sought a declaration that the defendant’s emergency powers lapsed 30 days following his initial disaster proclamation and an injunction preventing the defendant from enforcing a stay-at-home order against him. The plaintiff additionally filed a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and a preliminary injunction. On April 27, 2020, the circuit court granted the requested TRO enjoining the defendant from enforcing the stay- at-home order against the plaintiff and from further entering any similar executive orders against the plaintiff. On that same day, the defendant filed a timely notice of interlocutory appeal from said order. On April 30, 2020, the plaintiff filed in this court a consent to entry of order vacating temporary restraining order. In that motion, the plaintiff stated that he consented to the vacating of the TRO entered by the circuit court and asked that the TRO be vacated and the matter remanded back to the circuit court for further proceedings.

¶3 As a result of the plaintiff’s consent to the relief sought by the defendant and pursuant to the plaintiff’s request, we hereby vacate the TRO entered by the circuit court and this matter is remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings.

¶4 Vacated and remanded.
