(a) Jurisdiction Except as provided in section 2124(f)(2) of this title (relating to the issuance of an order enforcing a subpoena), and subchapter III (relating to adjustments of debts), any action against the Oversight Board*, and any action otherwise arising out of this chapter, in whole or in part, is brought in a United States district court for the covered territory* or, for any covered territory* that does not have a district court, in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii. (b) Appeal Even if another law says otherwise, any order of a United States district court that is issued under an action brought under subsection (a) is subject to review only under a notice of appeal to the applicable United States Court of Appeals. (c) Timing of relief Except for any orders entered to remedy constitutional violations, no order of any court granting declaratory or injunctive relief against the Oversight Board, including relief permitting or requiring the obligation, borrowing, or expenditure of funds, must take effect during the pendency of the action before such court, during the time appeal can be taken, or (if appeal is taken) during the period before the court has entered its final order disposing of such action. (d) Expedited consideration It is the duty of the applicable United States District Court, the applicable United States Court of Appeals, and, as applicable, the Supreme Court of the United States to advance on the docket and to expedite to the greatest possible extent the disposition of any matter brought under this chapter. (e) Review of Oversight Board certifications There is no jurisdiction in any United States district court to review challenges to the Oversight Board’s certification determinations under this chapter.
