ORDER OF COURT
Entered: May 27, 2025
These are consolidated appeals from an order granting a preliminary injunction on May 22, 2025, in the District Court for the District of Massachusetts. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. *2 § 1292(a). Defendant-Appellants have filed in this court an "Emergency Motion for Stay Pending Appeal and Immediate Administrative Stay" (the "Motion"). The Motion contains two requests; the sole request we address in this order is the request for an administrative stay.
After careful review, we conclude that Defendant-Appellants have not met their burden to show the need for an immediate administrative stay. See United States v. Texas, 144 S. Ct. 797, 798 (2024) (Barrett, J., concurring) (discussing considerations relevant to administrative stays); New York v. Trump, No. 25-1138, 2025 WL 455494 (1st Cir. Feb. 11, 2025) (denying without prejudice a request for an administrative stay). Accordingly, the request for an immediate administrative stay is denied. We intend to rule on the request for a stay pending appeal promptly.
