Deepa Dinesh Gaikwad v. Joseph B. Endlow

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California denied as moot defendants’ motion to stay the action following restoration of federal appropriations. The court ordered defendants to respond to the complaint by January 11, 2026, granting them 60 days from the restoration of appropriations funding.

Holdings

1. Defendants' motion to stay was moot because a continuing resolution had extended federal funding.
2. Defendants were granted 60 days from restoration of appropriations funding to respond to the complaint, with the response due on or before January 11, 2026.

Questions Presented

1. Whether defendants' motion to stay the action because of a lapse in appropriations remained justiciable after appropriations funding was restored.
2. What deadline should govern defendants' response to the complaint following restoration of appropriations funding.
