La Union Del Pueblo Entero v. Federal Emergency Management Agency

EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judge:

At issue in this case is the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) administration of the home repair provisions of Section 408 of the Stafford Act, entitled “Federal Assistance to Individuals and Households” and codified at 42 U.S.C. § 5174. The district court issued a preliminary injunction requiring FEMA to publish standards that comply with § 5174(j). FEMA appealed, and this court issued a stay of the injunctive relief pending the outcome of the appeal. We now vacate the district court’s grant of injunctive relief and remand the case.
