MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The government filed on 2/11/2026 a motion entitled "motion to stay pending appeal." The docket does not reflect, however, that a notice of appeal has been filed as of this morning, 2/12/2026. Typically a motion to stay pending appeal, consistent with its title, is filed when or after a notice of appeal has been filed. The Court questions whether the motion to stay in this case is premature. The government is directed to address this point in a supplement to its motion to stay, which is to be filed by 2/17/2026. The case is set for a telephonic hearing on 2/20/2026 at 8:55 AM, using call-in number 650-479-3207, access code 2305-915-8729. (mk) (Entered: 02/12/2026)
