reported Checked against sources Importance 6/10 ~1 min read 1 source

Plaintiffs in Service Employees International Union v. U.S. Department of Justice (N.D. Cal. 3:26-cv-12800-TLT) filed a notice on November 6, 2026 voluntarily dismissing the action in its entirety, without prejudice,. The notice gives no reason. The CourtListener docket text lists the filers as SEIU, AFSCME, LULAC and the NAACP.

This is the case in which a Ninth Circuit panel stayed a restraining order against DOJ’s demands on state officials about ballots; a later W.D. Wash. order recounts that the en banc court reinstated that stay.
