Case Summary

This case challenged a Trump administration executive order targeting Jenner & Block LLP, alleging violations of the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, and constitutional principle of separation of powers. On March 28, 2025, Jenner & Block, represented by Cooley LLP, filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies and officials, including Attorney General Pamela Bondi, Equal Employment O…

The case was assigned to Judge John D. Bates.

The executive order at issue—Executive Order 14246, issued on March 25, 2025—singled out Jenner & Block for disfavored treatment, alleging the firm engaged in partisan litigation, represented transgender and immigrant clients, and employed a former federal prosecutor involved in the Mueller investigation. The order directed the suspension of security clearances for Jenner personnel, immediate termination of any government contracts involving Jenner, and prohibitions on hiring Jenner employees within federal agencies absent special permission. It also instructed agencies to limit Jenner employees’ access to government buildings and interactions with federal personnel, and directed EEOC to investigate Jenner’s employment practices under Title VII for alleged discriminatory conduct.

On March 28, Jenner moved for a temporary restraining order (TRO). Following a hearing held the same day, Judge Bates granted the TRO, concluding Jenner was likely to succeed on the merits of its First Amendment retaliation claim, viewpoint discrimination claim, and Fifth and Sixth Amendment claims. The TRO blocked implementation of Sections 3 and 5 of the order (addressing government contracts, building access, and employment restrictions) and limited reliance on statements in Section 1 (the preamble) for punitive actions.

On April 17, the government moved to dismiss and opposed Jenner’s motion for summary judgment, arguing the order was a valid exercise of presidential authority to address national security concerns and alleged discrimination at Jenner. Jenner countered, emphasizing the retaliatory nature of the order, its unconstitutional suppression of protected speech and representation, and the chilling effects on the legal profession.

On May 23, 2025, granting summary judgment, Judge Bates issued a permanent injunction in favor of Jenner, holding the entire order unconstitutional. The court ruled the executive order was an act of retaliation for Jenner’s constitutionally protected speech, violated the First Amendment through viewpoint discrimination, infringed upon Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights, and undermined separation-of-powers principles by attempting to interfere with judicial functions and attorney independence. The court further concluded the order was not supported by legitimate national security or anti-discrimination justifications. Accordingly, it permanently enjoined implementation and enforcement of the executive order in full, rescinding any actions already taken under the order and directing federal agencies to disregard it entirely.

On July 21, 2025, the defendants filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The appeal remained pending as of July 2025.

	MINUTE ORDER (paperless), upon consideration of plaintiff's 1 Complaint in this case, which was directly, rather than randomly, assigned to the undersigned Judge, this Court concludes that plaintiff's 4 Notice of Related Case ("Notice"), indicating that this case is "related" to another case brought by a different plaintiff against similar federal government defendants, Perkins Coie LLP v. U.S. Department of Justice et al., 25-cv-716 (BAH), is erroneous, since these two cases are not related in a manner contemplated by D.D.C. LCvR 40.5(a)(3) (defining related civil cases) and 40.5(c)(1) (allowing direct assignment of "new case to the judge to whom the oldest related case is assigned"). The legal issues involved in the two cases appear to be substantially similar, making the instinct to keep and decide the cases together understandable and even tempting for preservation of judicial resources by allowing a single judge to become familiar with applicable legal principles in both cases. Nonetheless, the two cases involve different issues of fact and arise from different events, and thus strict adherence to the Local Rules of the Court requires assignment through the normal random assignment procedures of this District. See D.D.C. LCvR 40.5(a)(3). LCvR 40.5(a)(3) provides that cases may properly be deemed related when, as pertinent here, they "(ii) involve common issues of fact, or (iii) grow out of the same event or transaction..." This case and Perkins Coie do not involve common issues of fact or arise out of the same event or transaction. Executive Order ("E.O.") No. 14230, at issue in Perkins Coie, cites, as justification for the punitive measures applied to all employees of the targeted firm, the President's dislike of Perkins Coie's representation of his political opponent (i.e., "Hillary Clinton"), Exec. Order No. 14230 § 1, 90 Fed. Reg. 11781 (Mar. 11, 2025), and Perkins Coie's representation, sometimes pro bono, of clients seeking enforcement of voting rights (i.e., "Perkins Coie has worked with activist donors... to judicially overturn popular, necessary, and democratically enacted election laws"; referring to work for what the E.O. calls "anti-democratic election changes"), id. §§ 1, 3, and rights to continue service as transgender individuals in the U.S. Military (i.e., "Perkins Coie LLP has filed lawsuits against the Trump Administration, including one designed to reduce military readiness"), see Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Addresses Risks from Perkins Coie LLP (Mar. 6, 2025), https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-adresses-risks-from-perkins-coie-llp/. In contrast to the focus on Perkins Coie's provision of legal services to clients disliked by the President as the sole reasons for E.O. No. 14230, the E.O. at issue in this newly assigned case, see Addressing Risks from Jenner & Block ("Jenner E.O.") (Mar. 25, 2025), https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/addressing-risks-from-jenner-block/ (not yet published in the Federal Register), cites as justification for the punitive measures on all employees of Jenner & Block, both (1) the firm's representation of clients and issues disfavored by the President, including gender and immigration issues, see id. § 1, and (2) the professional tasks undertaken by a former partner of Jenner & Block, Andrew Weissmann, during a time when he was not employed by the firm and worked as a prosecutor on the Special Counsel investigation, led by former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Robert Mueller. Although both law firms are being targeted in similar ways in these separate Executive Orders, the facts of each case differ: the punitive measures imposed on Perkins Coie arise solely from the firm's representation of clients disliked by the President, while the punitive measures imposed on Jenner & Block in this new case arise, in part, from the firm's representation of clients disliked by the President but also, in part, from professional work performed at the United States Department of Justice by a former Jenner & Block partner who was not affiliated with the law firm at the time of the work to which the President objects.While, as noted, the reasons for relating the new case brought by Jenner & Block with the case brought by Perkins Coie are understandable, since both challenge Executive Orders carrying similar punitive measures and thereby raise similar questions of law, strict adherence to the normal process of random case assignment is crucial to ensure "fair and equal distribution of cases to all judges, avoid[] public perception or appearance of favoritism in assignments, and reduce[] opportunities for judge-shopping," Tripp v. Exec. Off. of President, 196 F.R.D. 201, 202 (D.D.C. 2000), and the reasons given to justify these orders do not involve the same underlying events or facts in the way contemplated by LCvR 40.5(a)(3). Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is directed to reassign this case randomly, pursuant to D.D.C. LCvR 40.3, since the exception provided for "related case" assignment in D.D.C. LCvR 40.5 does not apply. Signed by Judge Beryl A. Howell on March 28, 2025. (lcbah2)	March 28, 2025	March 28, 2025 PACER
