Order

MINUTE ORDER. On May 3, 2025, a motions panel of the Court of Appeals issued an order in Case No. 25-5144, Widakuswara et al. v. Lake, which stayed in part several preliminary injunctions issued by the district court in litigation regarding the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Among other things, the motions panel held that "the district court likely lacked subject-matter jurisdiction to enjoin USAGM's personnel actions." On May 22 and 28, 2025, the en banc Court of Appeals issued orders concerning the petition for en banc rehearing of the motions panel's order. It is therefore ORDERED that, on or before June 6, 2025, the parties shall file supplemental briefs, not to exceed 15 pages, regarding the import of those developments on this case. The parties' briefs should specifically address whether and to what extent the motions panel's decision is binding on the Court in light of its procedural posture and the pertinent factual differences, if any, between the claims in this case and those involving USAGM. So ORDERED by Judge Carl J. Nichols on 5/30/25. (lccjn1)
