Docket entry
Because the government has established that it is likely to prevail in showing that the Trust lacks Article III standing to challenge the East Wing project in federal court, that it would likely suffer irreparable harm without a stay, and that the balance of equities tips in its favor, the injunction entered by the District Court is stayed pending the disposition of the government’s forthcoming petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought.
