Tomorrow's Prelim. Inj. Hearing Before USDC Judge Ali Will Be Audio Feed -- I'll Listen In; And Here Is What The Govt. Owes Him By 11 AM EST Tomorrow.


This is -- of course -- the case in the USAID TRO that a 5-4 majority of the US Supreme Court just this morning ruled Tangerine 2.0 was now "out of compliance" with. Should be a banger -- read the pull quote below.

Here's the dial in details -- feel free to listen, but do not broadcast or record it. ["The information for the public access line is as follows: the toll-free number is 833-990-9400, and the Meeting ID is 771021014. . . ."]. Onward, to tomorrow, then:

. . .MINUTE ORDER.

The parties shall meet and confer and file a joint status report by 11:00 a.m. tomorrow proposing a schedule for Defendants to come into compliance with the Court's temporary restraining order ("TRO") and the Court's February 25, 2025, order enforcing the TRO. The joint status report need not address compliance with the February 25, 2025, order for the period that the order was subject to administrative stay; however, it should address steps taken during all other periods up until the filing of the joint status report and include specificity with respect to milestones and timelines for Defendants coming into compliance thereafter. The parties' proposed schedule should account for the length of time that has passed since the TRO was entered and the feasibility of any compliance timelines.

At the preliminary injunction hearing tomorrow, the parties should be prepared to address the substantive arguments at issue in the preliminary injunction motions. The Court will hear argument from all parties; however, Plaintiffs in the two cases are encouraged to coordinate to avoid duplicative arguments and will be given the opportunity to propose a division of the issues between counsel. The parties should also be prepared to discuss the steps Defendants have taken to come into compliance with the Court's orders, including any further steps that were executed following the parties' joint status report, as well as the parties' proposed schedule for Defendants coming into compliance.

Signed by Judge Amir H. Ali on 3/5/2025. . . .


Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Tangerine. Out. See ya' mañana.
