NFHA Commends State Attorneys General for Affirming Key Antidiscrimination Protections - NFHA
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: WASHINGTON—Fourteen state Attorneys General issued guidance today affirming that federal and state civil rights protections remain legal and enforceable and that they will conti...
![1941, 1942 (2022)). While administrative stays are more common in appellate courts, district
courts have recognized their applicability in cases seeking emergency relief under the APA. See
Order, Texas v. Dep't of Homeland Sec., No. 24-CV-306 (E.D. Tex. Aug. 26, 2024); Chef Time
1520 LLC v. Small Bus. Admin., No. 22-CV-3587 (D.D.C. Dec. 1, 2022). As these courts have
recognized, "[t]he authority for an administrative stay arises from the All Writs Act and a court's
inherent authority to manage its docket." Order, Texas, No. 24-CV-306, at 2.
However, because an administrative stay in this case blocks executive action a consideration
that is not to be taken lightly-the court will limit its duration to only the few days it will take for
expedited briefing and a hearing. It will further limit the scope of the administrative stay to OMB's
direction that agencies "pause ... disbursement of Federal funds under all open awards," so that it
is tailored to Plaintiffs' concern that a lapse in existing federal funding will cause irreparable injuries
to recipients and their programs. See ECF No. 1 49 31-42; see Temporary Pause of Agency Grant,
Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs, at 2. In this way, the administrative stay does not affect OMB's memorandum as it pertains to "issuance of new awards" or "other relevant agency actions that may be implicated by the executive orders." Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan,
and Other Financial Assistance Programs, at 2.
Accordingly, to maintain the status quo until the court may rule on Plaintiffs' motion, it is
hereby ORDERED that an ADMINISTRATIVE STAY is entered in this case until 5:00 p.m. at February 3, 2025. During the pendency of the stay, Defendants shall refrain from implementing](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreigxppdok256vgrrkh2hrxqdtby7365ezi5twvam66p2uru6fn6rei)
