U: Live Blog! The Able USDC Judge Perry Has Continued The Matter, To 3 PM CDT -- Now I May Be Able To Walk Over, And Pop In On It, Live.

In courtroom 1725, now @ 2:58 pm:

We will capture it by cellphone… and we are underway!

➣ By agreement, the TRO against militarized national guard forces here -- will remain in place until final judgment in this federal district court -- or a final US Supreme Court ruling changing the posture.

➣ MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry:

Continued status hearing held 10/22/2025 at 3:00 p.m.

Defendants propose an extension of the TRO until a final decision on the merits is reached, without prejudice to Defendants' continued pursuit of appellate relief and subject to any relief granted on appeal. Plaintiff accepts Defendants' proposal. The Court will enter an order consistent with the agreement of the parties on 10/23/2025, because extending the TRO will allow Defendants to allocate their legal resources in the way they feel is most appropriate and give the parties time to conduct fact discovery and submit well-reasoned legal briefs and motions on the complex and weighty topics raised in this matter. Defendants to answer or otherwise plead to the complaint consistent with the timeframes set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The parties are asked to meet and confer about a discovery schedule and file a joint status report regarding discovery by 11/4/2025.

The parties agree that should the Supreme Court issue any ruling in this case, they will submit a joint status report within 24 hours. . . .

We are adjourned. End update.

This all started at 9 AM CDT, sharp -- but it seems that the Noemites haven't made themselves available to the State of Illinois and City of Chicago counsels to discuss these matters. That won't do, for Judge Perry -- under our local IL ND rules of procedure.

So now we are adjourned until 3 pm this afternoon -- then live again -- in the Dirksen Building, on the 17^th Floor:

. . .MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry:

Status hearing held 10/22/2025 at 9:00 a.m. via telephone, to discuss next steps in this matter.

Status hearing to resume at 3:00 p.m. CST after the parties have consulted with their clients and conferred with each other. . . .

Now you know. Onward, resolutely -- and look for a live blog, if I do get over there -- at 3 PM, local.
