Utah hearing puts federal bid to halt Kalshi cases on calendar
A federal judge in Utah has set November 6 for a hearing on the motion by the CFTC and the US government for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction blocking Utah's criminal and civil cases against Kalshi. The federal plaintiffs must serve the order, motion and complaint on both defendants by 5 p.m. on November 3, and no ruling has been issued yet.
A federal judge in Utah has scheduled a November 6 hearing on a request by the CFTC and the US government to block Utah’s criminal and civil cases against Kalshi, according to CoinStats.
The federal plaintiffs are seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction. No ruling has been issued yet, leaving the request unresolved ahead of the hearing.
Service deadline comes before the hearing
The CFTC and the US government must serve both defendants with the order, motion and complaint by 5 p.m. on November 3, according to CoinStats. That deadline precedes the November 6 hearing.
The scheduling order establishes the next procedural steps rather than deciding whether Utah’s cases should be blocked. The hearing will address the federal plaintiffs’ motion; it does not itself provide the relief they seek.
What it means for prediction markets
- November 6 is the next hearing date: For readers tracking Kalshi’s legal position, the scheduled proceeding concerns whether Utah’s criminal and civil cases should be blocked.
- The request remains pending: The hearing announcement should not be treated as a ruling in favor of either side.
- November 3 is a procedural deadline: Service must be completed by 5 p.m.; that requirement is distinct from a decision on the requested restraining order and injunction.
