A federal appeals court on Thursday temporarily suspended a lower court’s ruling that Louisiana redraw its six-district congressional map to add a new majority-black district.

The administrative stay was issued to suspend the injunction order of U.S. Middle District Judge Shelly Dick, an appointee of former President Barrack Obama, who ruled in favor of a voting rights group on June 6.
