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 documents 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 October 1, 2025, the Idaho Office of Administrative Hearings 
(“OAH”) notified the parties that the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) previously 
assigned to the case is no longer employed by OAH. OAH reassigned the matter to 
a different ALJ. 
3. 
On October 7, 2025, counsel for the Idaho Department of Finance (the 
“Department”) sent a letter requesting additional information to fulfill the purposes 
of the remand granted in the previous ALJ’s September 8, 2025 Order on 
PayServices’ Motion for Reconsideration. PayServices is preparing a response to the 
Department’s letter in an effort to provide the additional information the Department 
has requested.  
Case: 24-2355, 11/03/2025, DktEntry: 64.1, Page 2 of 4

4. 
On October 14, 2025, the Department filed a response in opposition to 
PayServices’ Motion for Clarification with the ALJ and OAH. The ALJ has not yet 
issued a ruling on the Motion for Clarification.  
5. 
The Idaho Department of Finance has still not issued a final order or 
taken final agency action. Thus, the matter remains pending. 
6. 
Any further updates in this matter will be provided via a status report, 
which will be filed 30 days from today’s date. 
Date: November 3, 2025
