possible legitimate interest in hiding universally all access and info about the secret police it would like to have. No thank you very much. They can argue that circumstances justify concealment on an as-needed basis

![All told, the Supreme Court’s decision to stay the district court’s vacatur order in D.V.D. must “inform how [we] should exercise [our] equitable discretion in like cases.” Boyle, 145 S. Ct. at 2654. And this is not just a like case; in some respects, it is the same one. We understand Ojukwu’s frustration with these events. A district court involuntarily forced her into a class action in a faraway venue and thereby undermined her ability to pursue her own equitable relief in a court closer to her Ohio home. The choice to certify the class also “foreclos[ed] adjudication by a number of different courts and judges” (which could have helped the Supreme Court render its ultimate decision) and increased “the pressures on [that] Court’s docket.” Califano v. Yamasaki, 442 U.S. 682, 702 (1979). So courts should always exercise caution when certifying a “nationwide” class action. Id. Perhaps the Supreme Court will soon clarify whether the district court properly exercised that caution in D.V.D. In the meantime, though, the Court has made clear that the equities favor the government. We must reach the same result in this similar case. Therefore, the motion for a stay of removal is DENIED.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreiclljqoghg4qsue4mcbplowrr5mmcsd4n4vdekqe3hi74hqrft5nm)
