In re: Donald J. Trump, et al.,

              Petitioners


       BEFORE:       Rao, Walker, and Childs*, Circuit Judges

ORDER

        Upon consideration of the petition for a writ of mandamus; the emergency motion
for a stay pending resolution of the petition for a writ of mandamus and for an
administrative stay, and the opposition to the motion for a stay; and the notice of district
court orders, it is

       ORDERED that the district court’s December 8, 2025 order be administratively
stayed pending further order of the court. The purpose of this administrative stay is to
allow the court time to render a decision on the mandamus petition and the 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 (2025).
