Before MOORE, Chief Judge, LOURIE, DYK, PROST, REYNA,
  TARANTO, CHEN, HUGHES, STOLL, CUNNINGHAM, and
               STARK, Circuit Judges. 1
PER CURIAM.

ORDER

     The United States’s motions for a stay of the United
States Court of International Trade’s rulings enjoining cer-
tain Executive Orders imposing tariffs, the Plaintiffs-Ap-
pellees’ oppositions, and the United States’s reply were
presented to all circuit judges of this court in regular active
service who are not recused or disqualified. Both sides
have made substantial arguments on the merits. Having
considered the traditional stay factors, see Fed. R. App. P.
8; Nken v. Holder, 
556 U.S. 418, 426
 (2009), the court con-
cludes a stay is warranted under the circumstances. See
also Trump v. Wilcox, 
605 U.S. ___
, 
145 S. Ct. 1415
, 1415
(2025) (per curiam) (“The purpose of . . . interim equitable
relief is not to conclusively determine the rights of the par-
ties, but to balance the equities as the litigation moves for-
ward.” (quoting Trump v. Int’l Refugee Assistance Project,
582 U.S. 571
, 580 (2017)). The court also concludes that
these cases present issues of exceptional importance war-
ranting expedited en banc consideration of the merits in
the first instance.
    Accordingly,
    IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) The motions for a stay pending appeal are granted.
   (2) All motions for leave to file briefs amicus curiae re-
garding the stay motions are granted.
    (3) These consolidated cases will be heard en banc un-
der 
28 U.S.C. § 46
 and Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure

40(g). The court en banc shall consist of all circuit judges
in regular active service who are not recused or disqualified
in accordance with the provisions of 
28 U.S.C. § 46
(c).
    (4) Within two business days from the issuance of this
order, the parties are directed to jointly file a proposed ex-
pedited briefing schedule. The proposed briefing schedule
should allow for this court to hold oral argument on July
31, 2025 at 10:00 A.M. in Courtroom 201. If the parties
cannot agree upon a schedule, the joint submission should
include the parties’ alternative proposals.
