Trump DC Court Stay on proceedings pending appeal, dated 12/13/23, is violated by Government?

On December 13, 2023 the DC Judge Chutkan ordered that proceedings be on hold. The government violated the order last night, December 18, 2023. Take a look at document numbers 188 and 189-1 in the DC docket (see docket links, for DC and Florida federal cases, in the comment area).

A docket is an official summary of proceedings in a court of law. In late 19th century, large folio book a clerk recorded all filings for each case. The first docket invented was back in 1485.

Rules of the Supreme Court of the US is available online. It has 48 rules in total. Interestingly, language in Rule 34 was revised to say "7-9", consecutive numeric order in a page format. The old part said "7,8,9". I found it rather odd because a high schooler would say "1-5", as opposed to "1, 2, 3, 4, 5". Also, one rule #26: Joint Appendix, language revised to add "...for cases from state courts, a listing of...". That new language made me wonder if the SC was expecting to hear appeals on Georgia and New York cases where Trump was indicted. Just in case?
