    A federal district court judge has issued an administrative stay prohibiting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from collecting any commercial drivers’ information from a state-run database until a motion to quash DHS’s subpoena is resolved by the court.

    The administrative stay, issued Friday by Judge Anthony Trenga of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, comes after a coalition of 22 attorneys general and the state of Pennsylvania sued the Department of Transportation and DHS over the agencies’ demand that the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) provide access to the Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) (CPR, Aug. 14). In addition to filing the suit, the coalition filed a separate brief to quash a subpoena issued by DHS, in which it asked the court to stay further action regarding the subpoena until the court resolved the motion to quash.

    Judge Trenga granted the coalition’s motion for a stay, finding that the court required additional time to consider the motion to quash. The stay further provides that DHS should not receive any documents from the AAMVA pursuant to the subpoena until further notice and should inform the AAMVA that it should not produce the documents. Finally, if the AAMVA produces any documents in response to the subpoena, the order requires DHS not to inspect them and to immediately return them.

    The order requires DHS to file its response on the motion to quash by today and sets a Wednesday deadline for the coalition’s reply. A hearing on the motion is scheduled for Thursday.
