MINUTE ORDER: For the reasons stated on the record during today's hearing, it is hereby ORDERED that the TRO hearing is hereby CONTINUED until tomorrow, February 7, 2025 at 11 AM. The hearing will be on the record before Judge Jia M. Cobb in Courtroom 3. Therefore, for the reasons stated on the record, the Court hereby GRANTS an administrative stay until the conclusion of tomorrow's TRO hearing to preserve the status quo. The Government has represented that the information at issue in this case has not been shared outside of the DOJ. To preserve that status quo, it is ORDERED the Government shall not disclose that information outside of the DOJ between now and the end of tomorrow's hearing.While the court awaits full briefing and argument, it may issue a brief "administrative stay." United States v. Texas, 144 S. Ct. 797, 798 (2024) (Barrett, J., concurring). An administrative stay "buys the court time to deliberate": it "do[es] not typically reflect the court's consideration of the merits," but instead "reflects a first-blush judgment about the relative consequences" of the case. Id. While administrative stays are more common in appellate courts, district courts have recognized their applicability in cases seeking emergency relief - including in this District. See Nat'l Council of Nonprofits v. Off. of Mgmt. & Budget, No. 25-CV-239, 2025 WL 314433 (D.D.C. Jan. 28, 2025); Order, Texas v. Dep't of Homeland Sec., No. 24-CV-306 (E.D. Tex. Aug. 26, 2024); Chef Time 1520 LLC v. Small Bus. Admin., No. 22-CV-3587 (D.D.C. Dec. 1, 2022). As these courts have recognized, "[t]he authority for an administrative stay arises from the All Writs Act and a court's inherent authority to manage its docket." Order, Texas, No. 24-CV-306, at 2. Signed by Judge Jia M. Cobb on February 6, 2025. (lcjmc2)
