The brief order, issued late Wednesday by the Second U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals, said the court put the subpoena on hold temporarily so that a three-judge panel could consider whether to delay the subpoena more broadly while the appeal of a lower-court order plays out.
The lower court had ordered the prosecutor, Mark Pomerantz , to appear for the deposition, which had been scheduled for 10 a.m. on Thursday.
