  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, June 10, 2025 – Supreme Court Justice **Brett Kavanaugh** granted a 60-day extension to a coalition of interest groups preparing to challenge a January federal appeals court decision that struck down the Federal Communications Commission’s latest net neutrality order.\n\nThe groups' petition for a writ of certiorari, originally due Monday, June 9, was pushed to August 8, 2025.\n\nThe extension request was _filed on May 22_ by Free Press, New America’s Open Technology Institute, Public Knowledge, and the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society. The groups argued that additional time was needed due to the complexity of the legal issues and the need for more time to coordinate among the multiple organizations involved.\n\nIn their filing, the groups declared the Sixth Circuit’s January ruling – rejecting the FCC’s 2024 reclassification of broadband as a “telecommunications service” under Title II of the Communications Act – conflicted with earlier rulings from the Ninth and D.C Circuits. For example, the Ninth Circuit’s prior decision in _AT &T Corp. v. City of Portland_, had upheld the FCC’s authority to impose net neutrality.\n\nAdditionally, the interest groups cited logistical challenges would make it hard to consolidate their concerns in a timely manner.\n\n“Each organization requires time to undertake necessary internal consultations and decision-making processes,” the request stated. “In addition to the time needed to coordinate among the organizations to produce a consolidated petition if they decide to file one.”\n\nThe request further argued that the extension would not cause any unnecessary delay, as a resolution by the Court could not be implemented until the next term – after the 2025 elections.\n\nWith the FCC under Chairman**Brendan Carr** now opposing Title II reclassification, the _petitioners may face long odds_. Carr praised _the Sixth Circuit ruling_ when it was issued in January, _calling it_“a good win for the country.”",
