On February 1, the 9th circuit extended the stay in McComish v Bennett. The U.S. District Court in that case had invalidated part of the Arizona public funding law for candidates for state office. The stay means that the law remains intact until the 9th circuit rules on the merits of the case. The 9th circuit is expediting the case and it will be heard in April and decided quickly. Here is the seven-page order. The vote was 2-1. The dissenting judge would have removed the stay. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
