Defendants' Reply in Support of Motion to Dismiss, National Endowment for Democracy v. United States, Doc. 77

But Plaintiff’s claims are moot as NED has received the essential requested relief.

The government's position that NED's claims are moot because FY2025 and FY2026 funds have been obligated and disbursed. NED's notice of supplemental authority (Doc. 78, 9 October 2026) shows the motion to dismiss was still pending and records the FY2027 continuing resolution (Pub. L. 119-103, 2 September 2026).

Finding POL-6.16: Primary record On 11 August 2025 a federal district court preliminarily enjoined the withholding of $95 million of NED's fiscal 2025 appropriation and found the stated reason for it not plausible. The State Department obligated NED's full $315 million fiscal 2026 appropriation in March 2026, and the government's motion to dismiss the suit as moot was pending on 9 October 2026. Executive Order 14169 paused new obligations of foreign development assistance for 90 days on 20 January 2025, and on 26 September 2025 the Supreme Court stayed an order to obligate about $10.5 billion of expiring aid without deciding the merits.
