Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Illston's order granting a temporary restraining order which prevents the large scale reductions in force in the executive branch and compels certain discovery production


The Application

History

The district court found substantial likelihood of success on statutory claims regarding RIF procedures, irreparable injury to affected employees, and public interest in lawful agency action, justifying the TRO's issuance and discovery production requirement.

The Conclusion

The Ninth Circuit is considering the government's appeal of Judge Illston's TRO; the order currently remains in effect pending appellate review, preventing the large-scale workforce reduction from proceeding.
