Current stage: Hearing Scheduled
The petitioner filed a complaint for writ of mandamus, and the court has already entered a temporary restraining order and a class‑certification entry. Summonses were issued and at least one was returned executed as to the defendants, and the court has now issued a March 26 order governing joint responses, timing for responsive pleadings, page limits, and potential sanctions for noncompliance; that order did not set any hearing dates.
March 26, 2026
Key EventOn March 26, 2026 the court issued an order requiring defendants in multi‑defendant cases to file joint responses and motions (or move for leave to file separate responses and explain any conflicts), to seek leave for excess pages, and to include all bases for dismissal, stay, abstention, or other relief in joint filings (while permitting certain jurisdictional defenses to be raised later). The order also establishes that the response period for all defendants begins only after all defendants have been served or have waived service (with the longest response period controlling if periods differ), warns of potential sanctions for noncompliance, and expressly states no hearing dates were set in that order.
March 24, 2026
Key EventThe docket entry indicates the summons affidavit was returned executed as to the USA defendants on 2026-03-24, which appears to show the defendants have been served.
