IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
JAMIE SMITH,
Plaintiff,
vs.
FRANK BISIGNANO, Commissioner of Social
Security,
Defendant.
8:25CV321
ORDER LIFTING STAY
This case is before the Court on Defendant’s Notice of Restoration of Appropriations.
Filing 22. Defendant states that the restoration of appropriations on November 13, 2025, means
that the Court may consider lifting its stay of this action. If the Court lifts the stay, Defendants
request that all current deadlines for the parties be extended for thirty days. Filing 22. Although
Defendant does not indicate that Plaintiff’s counsel was consulted on lifting the stay or adjustment
of the briefing schedule, the lapse in federal appropriations was the only reason that the Court
entered the stay in the first place. See Filing 21. Thus, lifting the stay and establishing a schedule
for remaining briefing is appropriate. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that on Defendant’s request in his Notice of Restoration of
Appropriations for lifting of the stay in this case and the extension of remaining briefing deadlines,
Filing 22, is granted, as follows:
1. The stay in this case, entered on October 14, 2025, Filing 21, is lifted; and
2. Defendant shall have thirty days from the date of this order to file his Motion to
Affirm Commissioner, and Plaintiff shall have fourteen days thereafter to file a reply brief.
