Russell T. Vought, in his official capacity as Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau,

Appellants

BEFORE: Srinivasan, Chief Judge, and Henderson, Millett, Pillard, Wilkins, Katsas, Rao, Walker, Childs, Pan, and Garcia, Circuit Judges

ORDER

Upon consideration of the petition for rehearing en banc and the response thereto; the motions for invitation to file amicus curiae briefs in support of rehearing en banc filed by the Constitutional Accountability Center, the 41 nonprofit organizations, and the 36 members of Congress; the lodged briefs; the letters; and the vote in favor of the petition by a majority of the judges eligible to participate, it is

ORDERED that the motions for invitation to file amicus curiae briefs be granted. The Clerk is directed to file the lodged amicus briefs. It is

FURTHER ORDERED that the petition be granted. This case will be reheard by the court sitting en banc. It is

FURTHER ORDERED that the court’s judgment filed August 15, 2025, be vacated. The partial stay pending appeal entered on April 11, 2025, and later modified on April 28, 2025, is in effect. It is

FURTHER ORDERED that oral argument before the en banc court be heard at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, in Courtroom 20. It is FURTHER ORDERED that, in addition to filing briefs electronically, the parties file 30 paper copies of each of the briefs and the appendix, in accordance with the following schedule:

Brief for Appellants January 9, 2026

Joint Appendix January 9, 2026

Brief(s) for Amici Curiae January 16, 2026 in support of Appellants

Brief for Appellees February 2, 2026

Brief(s) for Amici Curiae February 9, 2026 in support of Appellees

Reply Brief for Appellants February 17, 2026

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 (2025); 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 due date. 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 cases are scheduled for oral argument at the top of the cover. See D.C. Cir. Rule 28(a)(8).

Because the briefing schedule is keyed to the date of argument, the court will grant requests for extension of time limits only for extraordinarily compelling reasons.

A separate order will issue regarding allocation of argument time.
