This is another of those wrongful DOGE / Trump "freeze / termination" of Congressionally mandated funding cases -- from last year.
The able USDC Judge Amir Ali is going to default the feds out -- for repeatedly trying to kick the can down the alley, always at the last minute (without any plausible explanation).
Clearly Team Tangerine 2.0 knows a loss is coming -- and right quick, now.
Here is the entire order, in running text:
. . .MINUTE ORDER.
[Trump] Defendants' [197] motion to modify the summary judgment briefing schedule is denied.
On June 12, 2026, the court set the parties' summary judgment deadline as July 13, 2026, with responses due July 23, 2026, and replies due July 28, 2026.
The court later adopted Defendants' proposal to extend the parties' summary judgment deadline to July 16, 2026, and then extended it a second time to allow Defendants more time to produce the administrative record, setting the deadline for the parties' summary judgment motions as July 27, 2026, for responses as August 3, 2026, and for leave to file any replies as August 7, 2026.
Given the court has already twice extended briefing and adopted briefing schedules proposed by Defendants, that the court finds Defendants have failed to show any unforeseeable cause for further extension, and the potential time sensitivity of resolution of summary judgment, the court denies Defendants' third extension request.
Signed by Judge Amir H. Ali on 7/23/2026. . . .
Now you know. Onard, resolutely -- will likely see/support Lupita Nyong'o in "The Odyssey" tonight. Smile.
