Case Overview

The Trump administration appealed the administrative stay of the firing of Dellinger. On Mar. 6, Dellinger dropped his case and ended his legal battle to get his job back.

The Application

History

Dellinger obtained an administrative stay blocking his immediate termination, prompting a Trump administration appeal to the DC Circuit that would determine whether the stay was legally justified and whether his removal could proceed.

The Conclusion

The case became moot when Dellinger voluntarily dismissed his lawsuit on March 6, 2025, ending his legal challenge to the firing and rendering the appeal of the stay order unresolved.
