Department of Education v. California

Holding

The District Court’s order preventing the termination of education-related grants is construed as an appealable preliminary injunction. Because the Government is likely to succeed in showing that the District Court lacked jurisdiction under the Administrative Procedure Act to order monetary payments, and upon consideration of the remaining stay factors, the Government’s application for a stay pending appeal is granted.
