A federal appeals court has granted the government’s motion to stay a judge’s ruling ordering the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to build more than 100 temporary housing units for disabled veterans on VA property in West Los Angeles, according to court papers obtained Tuesday.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals previously issued a temporary stay of U.S. District Judge David Carter’s order for the immediate placement of modular housing on designated space on the VA grounds pending the court’s resolution of the VA’s motion.
The appellate decision on Monday means that, as the government sought, no action will be taken to construct temporary housing or speed the process of building permanent housing on the VA campus until after the government’s appeal is decided.
