“Before the Court is plaintiffs’ Expedited Motion for Briefing Schedule (‘Expedited Motion’), which requests an expedited briefing and hearing schedule for its pending Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, Or in the Alternative, a Preliminary Injunction with Expedited Briefing and for a Stay Under 5 USC § 705. Defendants oppose this Motion, requesting additional time to respond.”
“Because full briefing of the issue will enhance the ability of the Court to make a sound decision. Plaintiffs’ Expedited Motion, is DENIED and defendants’ request for additional time is GRANTED; however, to ensure that no funds are irreversibly disbursed from the AntiWeaponization Fund (hereinafter, ‘Fund’) while plaintiffs’ Motion is pending, it is hereby ORDERED that defendants be and are ENJOINED from taking any further action pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the Fund,” says a Friday order from Virginia federal Judge Leonie Brinkema, setting a June 12 hearing on next steps in Andrew Floyd, et al v Department of Justice, et al. Floyd is a former federal prosecutor who worked a shit ton of January 6th cases, he’s joined by co-plaintiffs watchdog group Common Cause, some professor from University of California Channel Islands, the National Abortion Federation, and the City of New Haven, Connecticut. Could not even begin to imagine the standing they collectively have.
In a different legal setback for the Trump Regime, former President Joe Biden’s lawsuit to halt the release of his memoir tapes was assigned to DC Federal Judge Tanya S Chutkan on Friday.
