Summary

Plaintiffs' Notice of Motion and Motion for Preliminary Injunctive Relief in National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), et al. v. Elisabeth "Betsy" D. DeVos and the United States Department of Education, Case No. 1:20-cv-01996 (DLF), filed August 11, 2020. The notice states that the motion is brought under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 for a hearing on August 31, 2020. It asks the Court to prohibit Defendants from enforcing 34 C.F.R. § 76.665 and the July 1, 2020 Interim Final Rule on equitable services for students and teachers in non-public schools. Plaintiffs say these impose unlawful spending conditions on CARES Act emergency aid for schools. Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP signs as counsel for all Plaintiffs.
