June 15, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 11 STIPULATION AND ORDER STAYING PLAINTIFFS' DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PENDING FINAL DISPOSITION: IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, CONSENTED, AND AGREED by and between Plaintiffs and the USDA, by their respective undersigned attorneys, that: 1. The USDA agrees to stay its April 21, 2021 decision disqualifying Plaintiffs from participating in SNAP during the pendency of this action (the "Stay"), without prejudice to USDA's right to move to vacate the Stay upon further case developments or changed circumstances. The Stay will be in effect until the Court issues a final decision in this action; however, the Stay will not remain in effect during the duration of any appeals. 2. During the Stay, Plaintiffs shall abide by, and be governed by, all the rules and regulations of the SNAP in the same manner as Plaintiffs would have been required to do had the disqualification not taken place. 3. The USDA's agreement to Stay Plaintiffs' disqualification from the SNAP during the pendency of the above-captioned action shall not in any manner be construed to be a concession of liability (or a concession that the subject disqualification was improper or unlawful in any way), nor shall the Stay limit the USDA's right to oppose Plaintiffs' claims and the relief sought in their complaint filed in the above-captioned action. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Analisa Torres on 6/15/2021) (kv)
