ORDER
Upon consideration of the emergency motion for stay pending appeal and for an
immediate administrative stay pending disposition of the stay motion, it is
ORDERED that the district court's order filed November 25, 2019, be
administratively stayed pending further order of this court. The purpose of this
administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the appeal and
should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of either the motion for
stay pending appeal or the appeal. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal
Procedures 33 (2018). It is
FURTHER ORDERED, on the court's own motion, that the parties brief the
merits of this appeal pursuant to the following schedule:

FURTHER ORDERED that oral argument be scheduled before this panel at 9:30

reply brief.
To enhance the clarity of their briefs, the parties are urged to limit the use of
abbreviations, including acronyms. While acronyms may be used for entities and
statutes with widely recognized initials, briefs should not contain acronyms that are not
widely known. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures 41
(2018); Notice Regarding Use of Acronyms (D.C. Cir. Jan. 26, 2010).
All briefs and appendices must contain the date that the case is scheduled for
oral argument at the top of the cover. See D.C. Cir. Rule 28(a)(8).
