Judge Cooper has denied the motion for an emergency hearing on whatever it is they're doing inside the Kennedy Center, but also "[t]o avoid any confusion . . . given more recent events" ordered that defendants must provide written notice before any demolition, among certain other changes, can occur.
Sep 17, 2026

MINUTE ORDER: Plaintiff's 84 Motion for an Emergency Hearing is hereby DENIED. By September 23, 2026, Defendants shall a file a detailed status report, supported by a sworn declaration from a knowledgeable representative of the Kennedy Center, on the "temporary closure" and emergency repairs described in Defendants' 86 Response and Mr. Floca's [86-1] supporting declaration. Further, the parties are reminded of Defendants' representation to the Court in the companion case D.C. Preservation League that they will "inform Plaintiffs and the Court if there is any change in the Board's plans that would constitute a reversal of the Center's position that the building will not be demolished and that no new structure will be constructed." Joint Meet & Confer Report (Aug. 28, 2026), Case No. 26-cv-981 (CRC), ECF No. 62 at 2. To avoid any confusion on that score given more recent events, the Court hereby ORDERS Defendants to provide such notice in writing to Plaintiffs in both cases more than 30 days before the implementation of any changes to the scope of the project plans presented to the Court in D.C. Preservation League, including but not limited to any "demolition" of the Center's main building. Finally, Plaintiff may seek discovery regarding the subject of their 85 Notice of Supplemental Authority to the extent permitted by the Federal Rules and the Court's scheduling order. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 09/17/2026. (lccrc3)

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.
