[U: Funding Restored.] Friday Morning's Update, In The Second Cir. -- Hudson Tunnel "Naming" Litigation -- About Two More Weeks...


Updated: it is a temporary order, from the status conference this afternoon, but it is an order nonetheless. USDC Judge Vargas has ordered that the government pay the contractors by the end of business today, New York time. Which will be in about eight minutes. In the coming weeks, the Second Circuit may or may not change this, but for tonight, the money is sent. End update.

Ahem, just as we said: the Second Circuit in Manhattan will rule pretty expeditiously, given that he companies are owed over $220 million from Tangerine 2.0 at this point.

Here's the latest text only order:

. . .Appellants move for a stay of the district court’s February 6, 2026 order.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion is REFERRED to a motions panel sitting as early as the week of February 23, 2026. . . .


Onward, resolutely.
