ORDER

WILKINSON, AGEE, and DIAZ, Circuit Judges:

The Honorable Rick Perry (hereinafter Movant) has requested this court in an emergency motion to issue an injunction ordering Movant’s name “to appear alongside others on the ballot for the Republican primary for the Commonwealth of Virginia, or in the alternative, that this Court issue an injunction ordering the Respondents not to order, print, or mail ballots prior to the Court’s final consideration of this appeal.”*fn1 On January 13, 2012, the district court denied the Movant’s emergency motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. This court is required to act with the utmost expedition in ruling upon the emergency motion for injunctive relief because under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, respondents must mail requested absentee ballots to military and overseas voters by Saturday, January 21, 2012. See 42 U.S.C. § 1973ff-1(a)(8)(A). For the reasons expressed herein, the court denies the motion for the requested injunctive relief.
