Upon consideration of the petition for writ of mandamus and the emergency motion for a stay, which includes a request for an immediate administrative stay, it is

ORDERED that the district court’s April 15, 2025, order granting in part the motion for expedited discovery be administratively stayed pending further order of the court.

The administrative stay should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that petition or motion. See D.C. Circuit Handbook of Practice and Internal Procedures 33 (2024). It is

FURTHER ORDERED that any response to the emergency motion be filed by April 25, 2025. Any reply is due April 30, 2025. It is
