Motion Hearing

.Order AND ~Util - Set/Reset Deadlines

Minute Entry for Motion Hearing held before Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 5/21/2025. Oral arguments submitted on Plaintiffs' Motion 14 for Preliminary Injunction. Motion taken under advisement; forthcoming Order. (Court Reporter: Lisa Moreira) (lsj)

MINUTE ORDER: In their opposition to 14 Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction, Defendants argued that they complied with the appropriations bills at issue in this case by "obligating" the appropriated funds through grants to state and local governments. See ECF 21 at 27-28. At argument, government counsel indicated his belief that the government has not just obligated those funds but has in fact "paid out the minimum amounts appropriated by Congress." In light of that representation, the Court orders Defendants to file by May 23, 2025, a declaration (1) confirming the accuracy of counsel's belief, and (2) providing the government's best estimate of how much grant money it paid out under the relevant funding provisions prior to its March 24, 2025 announcement that it would terminate the grants at issue in this case. So Ordered by Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 5/21/25. (lccrc3)
