FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS NOV 19 2025 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

STATE OF OREGON; CITY OF Nos. 25-6268, 25-7194 PORTLAND; STATE OF CALIFORNIA, D.C. No. 3:25-cv-01756-IM Plaintiffs - Appellees, District of Oregon, Portland v. ORDER DONALD J.

Defendants - Appellants.

MURGUIA, Chief Judge:

Appeal Nos. 25-6268 and 25-7194 are consolidated.

The court has received the government’s emergency motion for stay pending

appeal in Appeal No. 25-7194. Docket Entry No. 6. The request for a partial

administrative stay is granted. The district court’s November 7, 2025, permanent

injunction is temporarily stayed to the extent that it enjoins the federalization of the

Oregon National Guard pending further order of the court. The court’s administrative stay “is only intended to preserve the status quo until the substantive

motion for a stay pending appeal can be considered on the merits, and does not

constitute in any way a decision as to the merits” of the appeal. See Doe #1 v.

Trump, 944 F.3d 1222, 1223 (9th Cir. 2019).

The government is directed to file weekly status reports regarding the

current status of any federalized Oregon National Guard, including updates on the

defederalization of any troops.

Briefing on the government’s emergency motion for stay pending appeal is

stayed pending the United States Supreme Court’s ruling on the government’s

application for a stay in Trump v. Illinois, No. 25A443. Once the Supreme Court

rules in that matter, this court will promptly set an expedited briefing schedule to

allow for consideration of the emergency motion for stay pending appeal. The

principal briefing schedules currently in place are vacated and will be reset upon

further order of the court.
