Motion for TRO, February 5, 2025
Scheduling order, February 5, 2025
| 02/05/2025 | MINUTE ORDER: The Court will provide access for the public to telephonically attend the scheduling hearing on Plaintiffs’ 8 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, set for February 5, 2025 at 3:00 PM ET. The hearing can be accessed by dialing the toll-free number: (833) 990-9400 (Meeting ID: 585620654). Attendees using the public access telephone line can listen to proceedings but cannot speak during the hearing. Attendees are also reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, or rebroadcasting any court proceedings (including those held by telephone or videoconference). Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court-issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court. Signed by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on 2/5/2025. (lcckk3) (Entered: 02/05/2025) |
| 02/05/2025 | MINUTE ORDER: The Court held a scheduling hearing on Plaintiffs’ 8 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. The Court adjourned that scheduling hearing to allow the parties to confer. The parties shall reconvene via teleconference to continue the scheduling hearing at 6:00 PM ET this evening, February 5, 2025.The Court will again provide access for the public to telephonically attend the scheduling hearing. The hearing can be accessed by dialing the toll-free number: (833) 990-9400 (Meeting ID: 585620654). Attendees using the public access telephone line can listen to proceedings but cannot speak during the hearing. Attendees are also reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, or rebroadcasting any court proceedings (including those held by telephone or videoconference). Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court-issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court. Signed by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on 2/5/2025. (lcckk3) (Entered: 02/05/2025) | |
| 02/05/2025 | MINUTE ORDER: The Court held a scheduling hearing on Plaintiffs’ 8 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Following initial discussions, the Court sent the parties a proposed order that would defer ruling on the Motion and order Defendants to take steps to preserve the status quo with respect to access to systems of records maintained by Defendant Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Court recessed, and the parties each submitted their own proposed edits to the Court’s proposed order. The Court then reconvened the parties and discussed their proposals. Although the parties appear to agree in principle, there are a few lingering disputes. And the parties require additional time to meet and confer. With that in mind, the Court proposed two possible tracks for moving forward with this litigation. Track One: The parties confer and agree to the terms of a proposed consent order to the preserve the status quo. The parties promptly file a consent motion to enter that order, with the terms of their agreement attached as a proposed order. Plaintiffs convert the 8 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order into a motion for a preliminary injunction. Defendants respond to that motion on or before February 12, 2025. Plaintiffs reply on or before February 18, 2025. And the Court holds a motion hearing at 2:00 PM ET on February 24, 2025 in Courtroom 28A. Track Two: The parties confer and are unable to reach an agreement on the terms of a proposed consent order to preserve the status quo. Defendants file their opposition to the 8 Motion for Temporary Restraining Order by 12:00 PM ET on February 6, 2025. Plaintiffs file their reply by 4:00 PM ET on February 6, 2025. And the Court holds a motion hearing at 3:30 PM ET on February 7, 2025 in Courtroom 28A. The Court ORDERS that the parties confer regarding these two tracks. If the parties reach an agreement to follow Track One, the Court ORDERS that the parties shall file their consent motion no later than 11:30 AM ET, tomorrow February 6 and adhere to the deadlines described above in Track One. If no such motion is filed by 11:30 AM ET, the Court ORDERS that the parties shall adhere to the deadlines described above in Track Two. The parties may contact Chambers by email as necessary in advance of these deadlines. Signed by Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on 2/5/2025. (lcckk3) (Entered: 02/05/2025) |
