Further Briefing Requested Regarding Scope of Bruckner’s Challenge

Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt – Christian Bruckner filed a lawsuit in the federal district court in Tampa, Florida, seeking to enjoin the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s set-aside of 10% (around $37 billion) of transportation funding for “small business concerns” owned and controlled by “socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.” On July 26, Bruckner filed a motion for preliminary injunction, seeking an “injunction prohibiting Defendants from implementing the race and gender quota in Section 11101(e)(3) of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.” The federal government opposed Bruckner’s motion and filed its own motion to dismiss Bruckner’s claims.
