Upon consideration of the petitions for rehearing en banc and the responses thereto, the Members of Congress’ and Impact Finance Experts’ motions for invitation to file amicus curiae briefs in support of rehearing en banc, the lodged briefs, and the vote in favor of the petitions by a majority of the judges eligible to participate, it is

FURTHER ORDERED that the petitions be granted. These consolidated cases will be reheard by the court sitting en banc. It is

* Circuit Judge Henderson did not participate in this matter. FURTHER ORDERED that oral argument before the en banc court be heard at 9:30 a.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 Federal Appellants January 9, 2026

Brief for Citibank, N.A. January 9, 2026

Joint Appendix January 9, 2026

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

Brief for Appellees Climate February 2, 2026 United Fund, et al.

Brief for State Bank Appellees February 2, 2026

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

Reply Brief(s) 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.
