Initially, Judges Gary Katzmann, Timothy Reif and Jane Restani gave the plaintiffs, who comprise five importers and 12 U.S. states, until 12 p.m. EST on May 30 to respond. The court's text-only order now gives the plaintiffs until June 2 at 5 p.m. EST to file their brief.
On May 28, CIT vacated and permanently enjoined all EOs so far issued under IEEPA (see 2505280068). The government immediately appealed and applied for an emergency stay. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted an administrative stay while it mulls the emergency stay bid (see 2505290039).
