But Judge, That Was Only What We Said To Congress
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 03.27.06
Judge Williams of the Court of Federal Claims was obviously not amused when she set aside the agency's override of the automatic stay during the GAO protest proceedings in Cigna Gov't Services, LLC v. U.S. (Mar. 10, 2006) in a procurement for Medicare claims administration. In addition to finding the rationale of the agency inconsistent with the agency's testimony to Congress that the procurement had significant scheduling flexibility, she found the override determination failed to consider several relevant factors, such as the cost of termination if GAO determines that the agency made an illegal award.

District Court Grants Preliminary Injunction Against Seller of Gray Market Snack Food Products
On November 12, 2025, Judge King in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington granted in part Haldiram India Ltd.’s (“Plaintiff” or “Haldiram”) motion for a preliminary injunction against Punjab Trading, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Punjab Trading”), a seller alleged to be importing and distributing gray market snack food products not authorized for sale in the United States. The court found that Haldiram was likely to succeed on the merits of its trademark infringement claim because the products at issue, which were intended for sale in India, were materially different from the versions intended for sale in the U.S., and for this reason were not genuine products when sold in the U.S. Although the court narrowed certain overbroad provisions in the requested order, it ultimately enjoined Punjab Trading from importing, selling, or assisting others in selling the non-genuine Haldiram products in the U.S. market.
