Stays

Airlines for Am. v. Dep’t of Transp. illustrates how the issue of interim appellate relief stays (rimshot) in flux. The panel majority said:

Several airlines and airline associations seek a stay pending review of a recent Department of Transportation (“DOT”) Rule that regulates how airlines disclose fees to consumers during the booking process. Finding the Rule likely exceeds DOT’s authority and will irreparably harm airlines, we GRANT the requested stay and EXPEDITE the petition for review.

A third judge would have taken a more staid approach:

No. 24-60231 (July 29, 2024).
