Compliance with District Court Order Permanently Enjoining Implementation and Enforcement of Executive Order 14263 – "Addressing Risk from Susman Godfrey"

The contract centers on the Environmental Protection Agency’s implementation of a court order that permanently enjoins, or prohibits, enforcement or implementation of Executive Order 14263, titled "Addressing Risk from Susman Godfrey LLP." An official email dated July 22, 2025, instructs all EPA personnel, including officers, staff, employees, and contractors, to disregard the referenced executive order in light of a permanent injunction and final judgment issued by a District Court. Essential documentation, including the court’s permanent injunction order and the final judgment notice, accompanies the communication to facilitate compliance and transparency. The EPA emphasizes the importance of adhering strictly to the court’s directive and instructs those affected to consult their contracting officer with any questions regarding compliance or execution of the order. This direction ensures that all EPA actions align with legal requirements and that there is no continued implementation or enforcement of the now-restrained executive order. The agency seeks the cooperation of all involved parties to maintain coordinated and compliant operations following the court’s decision.
