KENNEDY CENTER: MOTION FOR TWELVE-HOUR EXTENSION TO COURT'S JUNE 12 COMPLIANCE DEADLINE

MOTION FOR TWELVE-HOUR EXTENSION TO
COURT’S JUNE 12 COMPLIANCE DEADLINE


https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.287972/gov.uscourts.dcd.287972.58.0_1.pdf

Defendants respectfully request a brief extension of time to file the compliance declaration
required by this Court’s May 29, 2026 permanent-injunction order (see ECF No. 49), as one task—
the removal of signage from the Center’s front portico “that purports to rename the Kennedy
Center after President Trump,” id.—has been delayed because of thunderstorms in the District of
Columbia that presented safety concerns for workers.
See Ex. A. The removal work is presently
ongoing, and Defendants expect it will conclude in the early hours of the morning of June 13,
2026. Id. Defendants respectfully request a short extension of time—until noon on June 13, 2026—
to file their compliance declaration. Defendants reached out to Plaintiff when it became clear late
in the evening of June 12 that progress on removal of the letters had been sufficiently hindered to
threaten the midnight compliance deadline. Plaintiff provided the following position statement:


Plaintiff’s position is that Defendants had two weeks to comply with the order, and
only need an extension because of their inexcusable delay. Plaintiff also has
concerns that this fits a patten of non-compliance on Defendants’ part. But under
the circumstances, Plaintiff takes no position on a 12 hour extension. Plaintiff
would strongly oppose any further extensions.

Plaintiffs didn’t object anyway.

Now they are covering up the removal with a tarp for the world’s biggest snowflake baby so no one can see it happening …

It has been fine for several hours now and they are still just randomly banging on the scaffolding, as far as I can see.

To make sure they don't mess up. I would think sometime before 5:30 or 6 a.m., Eastern time, the work would be done.

The weather is OK.

There is no legitimate reason to delay it any longer. The weather earlier Friday did push it back some, but it can be finished and apparently, the weather is going to cooperate, reports indicate.

why couldn't they work to take down the lettering instead of just standing around?
There was also a group of workers sitting at the ground level to the right, observing those who were just standing on the upper scaffolding. Seems like a whole lotta' people collecting overtime to accomplish nothing.

A little less powerful, every time his name comes down from a building? Like the wicked witch or Samson.
