Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief Order on Motion to Stay Order on Motion for Scheduling Order
MINUTE ORDER. Upon consideration of plaintiffs' 60 Motion to Dissolve the Court's May 13, 2026 Preliminary Injunction, defendants' 62 Motion to Stay District Court Proceedings Pending Appeal, and plaintiffs' 70 Motion for Scheduling Order, it is hereby ORDERED that plaintiffs' motions are DENIED and defendants' motion is GRANTED. Plaintiffs seek an indicative ruling under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 62.1(a)(3) dissolving the preliminary injunction that they won before this Court on May 13, 2026. "A party seeking to dissolve a preliminary injunction must show 'a significant change either in factual conditions or in law' that makes continued enforcement of the injunction 'detrimental to the public interest.'" Talbott v. United States, 775 F. Supp. 3d 445, 448-49 (D.D.C. 2025) (citation omitted). Plaintiffs have not made the requisite showing. They point only to the D.C. Circuit's order partially staying the May 13 preliminary injunction pending appeal. See 59 Order of USCA. But no factual or legal developments have made the preliminary injunction "onerous," "unworkable," or "detrimental to the public interest," see Salazar by Salazar v. Dist. of Columbia, 896 F.3d 489, 492 (D.C. Cir. 2018) (citation omitted), or rendered the injunction moot, see Tincher v. Noem, 2026 WL 622745, at *1 (D. Minn. Mar. 5, 2026). Plaintiffs' motion to dissolve the preliminary injunction will therefore be DENIED. I will further GRANT defendants' motion to stay. "[T]he power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent in every court to control the disposition of the causes on its docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for counsel, and for litigants." Landis v. N. Am. Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936). The D.C. Circuit's forthcoming decision on defendants' interlocutory appeal will clarify the novel legal issues raised in this case and likely streamline proceedings before this Court. Any prejudice to plaintiffs is limited by the D.C. Circuit's order that defendants "may not take any action that violates the licenses regarding [plaintiffs] issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control." Order of USCA at 2. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that all proceedings in this case are STAYED pending the D.C. Circuit's resolution of defendants' appeal. Plaintiffs' motion for a scheduling order is therefore DENIED. It is further ORDERED that the parties shall file a status report within 30 days of the issuance of the mandate by the D.C. Circuit. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Richard J. Leon on 8/3/2026. (lcrjl1)
