Upon consideration of the emergency motion for stay, the responses thereto,

ORDERED that consideration of the motion for stay be consolidated with

FURTHER ORDERED, on the court’s own motion, that these appeals be
expedited. The following briefing schedule and format will apply:

____________
No. 25-5122 September Term, 2024
Brief(s) of Appellees May 12, 2025
(not to exceed a total of 13,000 words,
to be divided as Appellees deem fit)
Reply Brief(s) of Appellants May 15, 2025
(not to exceed a total of 6,500 words,
to be divided as Appellants deem fit)
The Clerk is directed to calendar these cases for oral argument before this panel
on May 19, 2025, at 9:30 a.m.
Appellants should raise all issues and arguments in the opening brief. The court
ordinarily will not consider issues and arguments raised for the first time in the reply
brief.
To enhance the clarity of their briefs, the parties are urged to limit the use of
abbreviations, including acronyms. While acronyms may be used for entities and
statutes with widely recognized initials, briefs should not contain acronyms that are not
widely known. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures 43-44
(2024); Notice Regarding Use of Acronyms (D.C. Cir. Jan. 26, 2010).
Parties are strongly encouraged to hand deliver the paper copies of their briefs to
the Clerk's office on the date due. Filing by mail may delay the processing of the brief.
Additionally, counsel are reminded that if filing by mail, they must use a class of mail
that is at least as expeditious as first-class mail. See Fed. R. App. P. 25(a). All briefs
and appendices must contain the date that the case is scheduled for oral argument at
the top of the cover. See D.C. Cir. Rule 28(a)(8). It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the administrative stay entered by the court on April
16, 2025, remain in effect pending further order of the court.
