- 2026-10-26 REPLY (re 33 MOTION for Preliminary Injunction ) filed byDolores Albarracin, Suzanne Bell, Ann D. Cohen-Wilson, Jonathan Kyle Daw, Katie Edwards, Michael D. Green, Abigail Hatcher, Sara Jackson, Kelton Minor, Heidi Moseson, Jade Pagkas-Bather, Andrea Rosso, Arghavan Salles, Mikaela Smith. (Meeropol, Rachel) (Filed on 10/26/2026) (Entered: 10/26/2026)#90
- 2026-10-22 ORDER. In light of the letter briefs submitted by the parties, the Court's tentative view is that there's no reason to treat the class certification motion as "provisional." After all, Rule 23 contemplates class certification "at an early practicable time." If the government believes that the record will demonstrate commonality/typicality issues that preclude certification, it may submit a supplemental brief identifying and explaining those materials, not to exceed 5 pages, by October 26. If the government does submit this brief, the plaintiffs' reply deadline (on the class certification motion only) is moved to October 30. Regardless, this matter can be discussed further at the hearing on November 18.Additionally, given the positions of the parties, it seems that it is not appropriate to convert the preliminary injunction motion to a summary judgment motion, in all or in part. Signed by Judge Vince Chhabria on 10/22/2026. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court. There is no document associated with this entry.)

Cases by issue
Every tracked case once, under its main issue, split by the coded direction of its final ruling (the same reading as "Reached a final ruling" below): favorable or adverse to the LGBTQ-rights claim, or mixed. The empty part of each bar is cases with no coded ruling at the trial, circuit or Supreme Court stage yet, which is most of them; it is not a claim that they have no outcome. Choose a bar to list its cases.
Reached a final ruling
The coded direction at the HIGHEST stage a case reached — trial-level, circuit-court or Supreme Court only. A preliminary-injunction ruling never counts as final, and a "procedural, no direction" or "unclear" coding is excluded rather than shown as an outcome.
Case duration
Filed to terminated, from real CourtListener docket dates, among cases where EVERY tracked docket has terminated (an open appellate docket alongside a closed district one is pending, not resolved). No stage-by-stage date exists in this corpus, so only this one span is shown; dates cover only the tracked-docket tier — see the coverage note below the numbers.
Cases by circuit
A real geographic map, states shaded by their circuit's case count relative to the busiest circuit (linear). The Federal Circuit has no state territory of its own (its jurisdiction is subject matter, not geography) and so never paints here, but still appears in the list and the table. Select a circuit below for its final-ruling mix.
