Update 3: On Mar. 3, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, an amended motion for a preliminary injunction, and a memorandum in support of that motion; and Judge McFadden ruled that the prior motions for a preliminary injunction are moot in light of the new motion.

This termination changed the nature of the dispute from a suspension of funding to a complete cancellation of the contracts.

Update 6: On Mar. 12, Plaintiffs submitted a notice of appeal to the DC Circuit.

Update 8: On May 2, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit ordered that the Defendants motion be granted and the case be dismissed.
