The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has issued an order that temporarily halts compliance monitor Michael Bromwich’s oversight while the appeal awaits a ruling, reports “AppleInsider” (http://tinyurl.com/kxu5lo8).
“It is hereby ordered that the motion for a stay pending appeal is referred to a three-judge motions panel and shall be heard as soon as possible,” the order reads. “It is further ordered that an administrative stay of the district court’s order is granted until the motion for stay pending appeal is determined by the motions panel.”
The order, handed down by Circuit Judge Raymond J. Lohier, Jr., comes five days after Apple told the court that it planned to appeal Judge Denise Cote’s imposition of an external compliance monitor.
