Once she denies the stay the matter will likely be ripe to be addressed by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia.
DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration requested the “stay” in its June 15, 2018 filing on the plutonium fuel (MOX) boondoggle:
“MOTION TO STAY PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION PENDING APPEAL
Defendants hereby respectfully move to stay this Court’s preliminary injunctive order of June 7, 2018, pending a decision from the Fourth Circuit on Defendants’ appeal of the Court’s preliminary injunction, pursuant to Rule 62(c). Defendants are filing an appeal concurrently with this motion,1 and in light of the irreparable harm that Defendants will suffer in the absence of a stay, Defendants would respectfully request a decision by this Court on or before June 21, 2018, so that they may have sufficient time to seek a stay from the Court of Appeals if the Court denies this motion. Defense counsel has conferred with counsel from the State, and the State opposes this motion.”
