The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Oct. 6, 2025, mandated that the CFPB file a response to the National Treasury Employees Union's (NTEU) petition for rehearing en banc of a three-judge panel's order vacating a preliminary injunction that halts any attempt to dismantle the CFPB.

The D.C. Circuit initially provided the CFPB 15 days from the entry of its order to respond to the NTEU's petition filed on Sept. 29, 2025, as Holland & Knight previously reported. Notably, responses to petitions for rehearing en banc are not permitted as a matter of right. Rather, the court, in its discretion, may request responses when necessary based on the needs of the case and the dispute at issue.
