BREAKING UPDATE, 4:45 P.M. JULY 10:

Judge James Boasberg on Friday storage.courtlistener.c… the request from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH, for a temporary restraining order blocking the Federal Trade Commission from proceeding with its enforcement action against WPATH in the Northern District of Texas.

Boasberg found that WPATH had not shown that the Texas action needs to be blocked to protect Boasberg’s jurisdiction over a prior order had had issued protecting WPATH from needing to respond to an FTC Civil Investigative Demand or because the D.C. case and Texas action would be sufficiently duplicative. Additionally, Boasberg found that that WPATH had not shown they will face irreparable harm if forced to litigate related matters in both D.C. and Texas.
