Housekeeping: In The “Probationaries Firings” Class Action In SF (USDC Judge Alsup), Since Trump Appealed To The Ninth Cir., DOGE Need Not Answer Until End Of May, Now.

This is truly… trivia. But just to keep the calendars straight….

The trial court here had already ruled against DOGE/Musk/Tangerine 2.0 (as had the Ninth Circuit) — and those jokers have appealed their complete losses. The Supremes (in a one paragraph 6-3 memo, with no reasoning) allowed them to prepare new notices, and start over… which they’ve done.

Whilst we await that outcome, there is no need to have an answer to the original formal complaint, as the government is enjoined from additional action under it. So the plaintiffs won’t have to spin their wheels in motion practice at the trial court level for a bit, yet. The status quo is in their favor:

…Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-1(a), Plaintiffs and Defendants hereby stipulate to extend the time within which Defendants shall have to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint to May 27, 2025….

DATED: April 21, 2025….

Now you know. More updates surely coming, this afternoon — on the “wrongfully deported” humans cases, in the federal courts — around the nation. Grin.
