Plaintiffs,
v.
NSO GROUP TECHNOLOGIES
LIMITED, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 19-cv-07123-PJH
ORDER RE ADMINISTRATIVE STAY
AND SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE
FOR MOTION TO STAY PENDING
APPEAL
Re: Dkt. 805
Defendants have requested an administrative stay of the court’s injunction order
and a briefing schedule for defendants’ forthcoming motion to stay pending appeal. See
Dkt. 805. Although plaintiffs persuasively argue that the court has already concluded that
defendants are causing ongoing irreparable harm, the court believes that a limited
administrative stay is warranted during the pendency of defendants’ forthcoming motion.
To that end, the court sets the following deadlines: defendants shall have until
Wednesday, November 19 to file a motion to stay pending appeal, plaintiffs shall have
until Wednesday, November 26 to file an opposition brief, and defendants shall have
until Wednesday, December 3 to file a reply. No further briefing will be permitted, and
the motion will be decided on the papers. The injunction order is administratively stayed
until the resolution of defendants’ motion to stay pending appeal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
