LAURA SWAIN, District Judge
Plaintiffs, who have filed an interlocutory appeal of the aspect of this Court's February 6, 2009, Opinion and Order that denied Plaintiffs' application for injunctive relief with respect to several aspects of the New York City Campaign Finance Law, now seek certification pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) of an appeal of the aspects of that order that granted summary judgment to Defendants with respect to the claims upon which injunctive relief had been sought, and a stay of the district court proceedings pending resolution of the appeal. Defendants do not oppose the instant applications.
Plaintiffs' applications for section 1292(b) certification and for a stay are hereby granted. It is in the interests of judicial economy to ensure the ability of the Court of Appeals to consider the full scope of issues and remedies implicated by the matters addressed in the February 6, 2009, Opinion and Order. Those issues are ones of great public significance, the resolution of which may well materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation.
This Order resolves docket entries nos. 103 and 105. The above-captioned case is hereby transferred to the Court's suspense docket pending the outcome of the appeal. The parties are directed to report to the Court in writing as of July 1, 2009, and as of each January 1 and July 1 thereafter as to the status of the appeal, and to inform the Court immediately upon the issuance of a decision upon the appeal.
SO ORDERED.
