A federal appeals court on Friday prevented the Trump administration from advancing with new plans to cut staffing at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the federal agency overseeing consumer financial products and services.

In a per curiam order issued by an en banc panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the court denied a motion to modify a stay pending appeal. However, the court granted a motion for limited remand to the district court, while keeping the broader case in abeyance, with the en banc court retaining jurisdiction.
