Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Cobb's order granting a preliminary injunction for Lisa Cook which allowed her to remain as Federal Reserve governor.


The Application

History

Lisa Cook challenged her removal as Federal Reserve governor. Judge Cobb granted a preliminary injunction finding Cook likely succeeded on the merits and allowing her to remain in office, leading the government to appeal to the DC Circuit.

The Conclusion

On appeal in the DC Circuit, the government challenges both the scope of presidential removal authority and the propriety of the preliminary injunction; the outcome will clarify the boundaries of executive power over independent agency leadership.
