________________________________
On Friday night, June 6, 2025, the Government filed an emergency motion seeking an
administrative stay and a stay pending appeal of the district court’s June 3, 2025 order. That
order preliminarily enjoined the Government from, inter alia, enforcing or implementing the
directives in its March 28, 2025 and May 11, 2025 letters and directing related relief. On Sunday
night, June 8, 2025, plaintiffs filed a letter opposing an administrative stay and asking leave to
file opposition to the motion on June 12, 2025. The Court understands the emergency nature of
the relief requested by the Government. Accordingly:
