(D.C. Cir. 2008) (quotations and citations omitted). Here, any
lapse in bulk collection was temporary. Immediately after
Congress acted on June 2 the FBI moved the FISC to
recommence bulk collection, United States’ Mem. of Law, In
re Application of the FBI, No. BR 15-75 (FISC, filed Jun. 2,
2015), and the FISC confirmed that it views the new
legislation as effectively reinstating Section 215 for 180 days,
and as authorizing it to resume issuing bulk collection orders
during that period. See Opinion and Order, In re Application
of the FBI, Nos. BR 15-75, Misc. 15-01 (FISC June 29, 2015)
(Mosman, J.); Mem. Op., In re Applications of the FBI, Nos.
BR 15-77, BR 15-78 (FISC Jun. 17, 2015) (Saylor, J.).
Accordingly, plaintiffs and the government stand in the same
positions that they did before June 1, 2015.

The preliminary injunction entered by the district court is
hereby vacated and the case remanded for such further
proceedings as may be appropriate.
So ordered.
