9th Circuit Upholds Order Blocking Termination of University of California Research Grants

Farella Partner Linda Gilleran was quoted in The National Law Journal article, "9th Circuit Upholds Order Blocking Termination of University of California Research Grants."

On August 21, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Thursday declined to stay a preliminary injunction that blocked two federal agencies from terminating grants involving the topics of diversity, equity and inclusion after President Donald Trump earlier this year issued executive orders targeting such research funding.

In the article, Linda Gilleran said “This is a huge win for our clients and the federally-funded research conducted throughout the UC System. Ensuring that the government cannot continue to deny grant funding while it appeals the preliminary injunction allows this important research to continue.”
