Meanwhile, Judge Leo Gordon denied the government's stay motion and said the parties shall hold a status conference within 30 days of the government being funded to discuss how the affected cases should proceed. Gordon joined Judge Jane Restani to become only the second CIT judge to deny the stay motions from the U.S.
All other CIT judges agreed to stay the cases immediately affected by the shutdown, pending its duration, though they gave the U.S. a range of seven to 14 days to file a status report after the shutdown ends.
