Sean Cooley

Good Morning,

This is just a reminder that we have a World Cup call scheduled for 2 PM ET this afternoon. I also wanted to bring to your attention some potential implications for World Cup cities that have emerged from the ongoing Santa Clara v. Noem litigation before our meeting today.

The World Cup NOFO is discussed on page 15 & fn. 14 of the Reply ISO the Motion for a Preliminary Injunction, available here: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.457203/gov.uscourts.cand.457203.69.0.pdf https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__storage.courtlistener.com_recap_gov.uscourts.cand.457203_gov.uscourts.cand.457203.69.0.pdf&d=DwMFAw&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=jblVzryv37xz6dGHTIBd0omyr7IZ_ghleJygNWPo2JE&m=Xn9dLYG1j5Ec585IUdogaYGa85xk3XvdSa_kncSu7tG0hg4C9LfwokDd0H4GxsKl&s=OBDnkX4hXG2qJarYyLm2wOwBuZ2dy5YMIE6kuwj-xrE&e=.
