                                            any irreparable harm to the Plaintiffs. Nothing suggests that the Defendants will
not resume operating under the OMB Directive and the incorporated EOs if the Court
stays the TRO. Thus, the Court finds that the risk of irreparable harm to Plaintiffs
if the blanket categorical and unauthorized impoundment of funds resumes, paired
with the public's interest in maintaining the status quo pending a full hearing, weighs
against issuing a stay on the Court's Orders pending appeal.
The Court issued a TRO to temporarily continue the status quo, by prohibiting
the freezing of funds Congress appropriated and authorized. The TRO is intended to
ensure that appropriated funds are paid in accordance with its respective
Congressional authorizing statute-i.e.,
a stand-still order until the Court can
quickly take evidence, hear argument, and rule on this critical issue. Therefore, the
Court DENIES the Defendants' Motion to Stay the Court's Orders pending appeal.
ECF No. 100.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

                                            9. I understand from our Office Manager, however, that as of Sunday,
February 2, no funds have been deposited to our bank account. We have checked our accounts multiple times a day since January 29, but no funds have been transmitted. We have received no information or explanation from the Administration for Community Living about the interruption in funds.
10. In short: we have received no federal funds since the OMB Freeze Memo was issued. Our Center had enough money to meet payroll on Friday, January 31, and to cover outstanding bills. But we did not have enough money on hand to cover another two-week pay period at full staffing.
11. Thus, on Friday, January 31, the Board of Directors voted to lay off three of our five employees and drastically reduce services to our customers. This presented a dire situation for our customers, who have immediate needs.
12. For example, on Monday, February 3, we are scheduled to take an
86-year-old woman to dialysis treatments (which we do for her every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). Our agency is her only way to get to these life-sustaining appointments.
