As of December 22, 2018, the appropriations act funding the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) expired and appropriations for DOJ lapsed. Absent an appropriation, DOJ employees are prohibited from working, except in very limited circumstances. Accordingly, all deadlines for Respondent in cases pending before the Office of Special Masters, absent a subsequent Order of the assigned Special Master, are hereby STAYED until DOJ appropriations are restored. **Source:** http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/OSM%20General%20Order%2012.26.2018.pdf
