CourtListener’s docket for No. 1:25-cv-00039 records a February 21, 2025, hearing on the states’ motion for a preliminary injunction. On March 6, 2025, Chief Judge McConnell entered a memorandum and order granting ECF No. 67, denying as moot a second motion to enforce, and denying the defendants’ request to stay the order pending appeal to the First Circuit. The Clearinghouse later cites the opinion as 769 F. Supp. 3d 119.
The opening of the memorandum, hosted by the New York Attorney General, states: “The Executive’s categorical freeze of appropriated and obligated funds fundamentally undermines the distinct constitutional roles of each branch of our government.” And: “Here, the Executive put itself above Congress.” Those sentences are the court’s. They are not a House vote.
H.Res. 241 was introduced eighteen days later. This post is the docket. The resolution is a different paper. Do not collapse them.
