ORDER OF COURT

Entered: December 19, 2019

The appellants' oversized petition for stay of judgment pending appeal is accepted for
filing. The petition itself is denied.

TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge, dissenting. I disagree with the order and would grant the
stay. Nothing is lost by staying this matter until the Court hears the case. This is a law which was
passed without Puerto Ricans having any participation in its enactment, which concerns matters
that have a long tradition in local history. The least that should be done is stay its enforcement
until they are heard.
