Court Denies Calif. Students' Motion for Expedited Discovery in DOGE-Education Case
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday denied the California Student Association’s motion for expedited discovery in a case about the Department of Government Efficiency's access to sensitive information. Judge Randolph Moss ruled the students failed to show expedited discovery is needed in case 25-00354.

However, the judge said the students could renew their motion "after the parties and the Court have the opportunity to consider the administrative record and to determine whether it will allow for meaningful judicial review.”
The student association sued the Education Department Feb. 7 for its alleged unlawful and continuous disclosure of sensitive information to DOGE (see 2502100074). Acting U.S. Department of Education Secretary Denise Carter filed an opposition motion Feb. 13 (see 2502130037), which the association responded to with a renewed call for a TRO (see 2502140016). Moss denied the TRO Feb. 17, and the association filed its first motion for expedited discovery March 4. Carter asked the court to deny the motion March 10 (see 2503110039).
