The temporary administrative halt on the order to remove the fence around the Eugene Federal Building has ended after a U.S. district judge clarified his earlier ruling, restoring the July 2 deadline for the fence’s removal.

On June 30, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the lower district court to “consider and clarify” its original order to remove the fence and extended the administrative stay until the clarification could be made. 

Following U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai’s clarification, the administrative stay ended, restoring the July 2 removal deadline. 

According to court documents, the government filed a motion to extend the administrative stay, but the request was denied without prejudice, meaning the government is allowed to refile the motion at a later date.

While the order ends the stay and reinstates the July 2 deadline, the decision will not “prevent the government from implementing other appropriate safety measures for the protection of personnel and property,” according to court documents.   

The court will hear oral arguments on the government’s request for a stay pending appeal on Wednesday, July 8. A stay pending appeal is a long-term pause on a court order for the entire duration of the appeals process, while an administrative stay is a temporary pause on a court order. 

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
