My interpretation is that this Order does not necessarily mean a delay in rendering our Decision. Don't get me wrong, Judge Du has complete discretion, especially under these exigent circumstances, to delay the decision, but this Order does not mean that she will exercise that discretion.
The plain language of the Order means that there will be no civil or criminal trials until April 10 at the earliest. The term "associated deadlines" can only be interpreted as the pretrial deadlines for the submission of pretrial materials. Trials are exigent events consuming the most judicial and attorney resources, hence the need to immediately address trials given the current circumstances.
The Order then concludes that this Order does not affect other aspects of the District Court's operations, the category within which the rendering of our decision would fall.
In sum, while these unprecedented external circumstances may result in a delay of our decision, it is far from a foregone conclusion, and nothing in the plain language of this Order compels such a delay.
