ORDER

      Upon consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus and the emergency
motion for a stay, which includes a request for an immediate administrative stay, it is

       ORDERED that the district court’s April 15, 2025, order granting in part the
motion for expedited discovery be administratively stayed pending further order of the
court. The purpose of this administrative stay is to allow the court time to receive full
briefing on the mandamus petition and to render a decision on the petition and stay
motion. The administrative stay should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the
merits of that petition or motion. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal
Procedures 33 (2024). It is

       FURTHER ORDERED that any response to the emergency motion be filed by
April 25, 2025. Any reply is due April 30, 2025. It is

       FURTHER ORDERED, on the court’s own motion, that Citizens for
Responsibility and Ethics in Washington enter an appearance and file a response to the
mandamus petition, not to exceed 7,800 words, by April 25, 2025. See Fed. R. App. P.
21(d); D.C. Cir. R. 21(a). Petitioners may file a reply, not to exceed 3,900 words, by
April 30, 2025.
