175District Judge Julia E. Kobick: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered.The defendants’ motion to stay, ECF 156, is GRANTED, and the plaintiffs’ motion to lift the partial stay of this case, ECF 161, is correspondingly DENIED.On April 18, 2025, this Court preliminarily enjoined enforcement of the U.S. Department of State’s Passport Policy as to six of the original plaintiffs. ECF 74 . The Court extended the preliminary injunction to a subset of the certified classes on June 17, 2025. ECF 116 . The government has appealed both orders and those appeals are pending before the First Circuit. ECF 111, 131 . In August 2025, this Court stayed the plaintiffs’ constitutional claims but allowed their claims under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”)—Counts 6 and 7 of the amended complaint—to proceed. ECF 137 . The parties have filed cross-motions for summary judgment on those two APA claims. ECF 145, 174 .In September 2025, the First Circuit denied the government’s motion to stay this Court’s preliminary injunction pending appeal, Agatha v. Trump, 151 F.4th 9 (1st Cir. 2025), but in November 2025, the Supreme Court granted the government’s application and stayed the preliminary injunction, Trump v. Orr, 146 S. Ct. 44 (2025). The Supreme Court concluded that the government was likely to succeed on the merits on the claims addressed in this Court’s preliminary injunction orders and that the government would suffer a form of irreparable injury absent a stay. Id. at 46. It explained its reasoning as to its likelihood-of-success-on-the-merits determination in three sentences. Id.The meaning of those three sentences will affect the viability of the claims that were addressed in this Court’s preliminary injunction decisions. And however this Court were to understand those sentences, the effect of the Supreme Court’s analysis on the plaintiffs’ claims would feature prominently in any subsequent appeal. The Court gives weight to the plaintiffs’ wish to proceed expeditiously with their case, particularly in view of the Court’s prior conclusion that the Passport Policy inflicts tangible harm on the certified classes. But the interests of justice and the interest in the efficacious administration of this case are best served by allowing the First Circuit to explain first how the Supreme Court’s analysis affects the plaintiffs’ claims. The First Circuit’s guidance on that matter, and the other matters in dispute on appeal, some of which involve pure questions of law, will clarify the issues in this case moving forward. Appellate guidance will also assist the parties in focusing their subsequent discovery efforts and presenting the legal issues to this Court.The Court agrees with the parties’ joint assessment that it is most efficient for this case to proceed before one Court rather than in a piecemeal approach before two. For that reason, and the other reasons given, it will grant the governments’ request to stay proceedings on the APA claims and deny the plaintiffs’ request to lift the order staying their constitutional claims. And for the same reasons, the plaintiffs’ motion for an indicative ruling under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 62.1, ECF 168, is DENIED. This matter is hereby STAYED pending the First Circuit’s decision on the appeal of the preliminary injunction orders. The parties are ORDERED to confer and file a joint proposal with procedural deadlines within 14 days of the First Circuit’s decision. (Currie, Haley) (Entered: 01/26/2026)Open(opens another site)

190Electronic Clerk's Notes for remote Scheduling Conference held on 7/1/2026 before District Judge Julia E. Kobick: Case called. The Court notes it has received the parties' joint stipulation and proposed briefing schedule at 184 and the request from plaintiff for this hearing at 185 . The Court hears the parties on each. The Court further notes it originally stayed the constitutional claims and allowed the APA claims to remain pending. Now, the case is entirely back before the Court. The Court states for the parties that normally parties are not entitled to discovery on APA claims, which relies on the administrative record which has been filed in this case, but may be entitled to discovery on constitutional claims to the extent the facts matter to those claims. Plaintiff confirms with the Court that it would be seeking to supplement the record if both summary judgments are denied. It further confirms it is interested in discovery in support of their constitutional claims regarding equal protection but not limited to just those claims. The Court informs the parties it thinks it needs some more information from both sides regarding the parties' respective positions on discovery in the form of a Rule 56(d) motion. At that point, the Court will determine whether it thinks it should proceed on the current summary judgment motions or if they should be denied without prejudice, a schedule set, discovery conducted and summary judgment motions to be conducted after. The Court informs the parties it will stay the briefing on the various summary judgment motions for the reasons stated on the record. The Court further informs the parties it will not be signing the joint stipulation. The Court sets the following briefing schedule: Plaintiffs' Rule 56(d) motion to be filed by 7/15/2026Defendants' opposition/response to be filed by 7/29/2026 Attorneys present: Malita Picasso, Isaac Chaput, Jessie Rossman, Aditi Fruitwala, Jennifer Herrmann and James Esseks for the Plaintiffs.
