INTRODUCTION 
In the Court’s Order entered on January 24, 2025 (Docket Entry No. 52.1), 
the Court directed the parties to “file a status report as to the status of the appeal by 
February 27, 2025 and every 30 days thereafter until the resolution of the 
administrative appeal.” In compliance with this directive, the parties state the 
following: 
1. 
Appellee Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRBSF”) does not 
have access to the Idaho Office of Administrative Hearings motions for 
reconsideration briefing or the August 12, 2025 deadline order referenced below and 
has no updates or information regarding the status of PayServices’ administrative 
appeal. FRBSF is only aware of the below events through PayServices’ updates 
herein. 
2. 
On August 5, 2025, PayServices filed the Motion for Reconsideration 
referenced in the July 2025 status report. On August 6, 2025, the Idaho Department 
of Finance (the “Department”) also filed a Motion for Reconsideration with the 
Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) on separate grounds. On August 11, 2025, 
PayServices and the Department conferred and agreed on a briefing schedule for 
their cross-motions for reconsideration and a date on which the ALJ’s decision on 
the motions would be due. On August 12, 2025, the ALJ issued an order setting 
deadlines, which required the parties to file responses to the cross-motions for 
Case: 24-2355, 09/02/2025, DktEntry: 62.1, Page 2 of 4

reconsideration by August 25, 2025. The ALJ’s order indicates that the decision on 
the motions is due September 8, 2025.  
3. 
PayServices and the Department both timely filed their responses to the 
opposing party’s motion on August 25, 2025. The outstanding motions remain 
pending with the ALJ, and the parties await a decision. 
4. 
The Idaho Department of Finance has still not issued a final order or 
taken final agency action. Thus, the matter remains pending and the administrative 
appeal is still undecided.  
5. 
Any further updates in this matter will be provided via a status report 
which will be filed 30 days from today’s date. 
Date: September 2, 2025
