FPC requesting clarification. Might not be a bad time to join them for $30 if you’re not a member already

Great news! Hopefully this sets motion for a nationwide injunction.

Confirmation of above

GOA is going for it on their case too that got an injunction 

 

[Yeti]

It looks like all SAF members are also now covered!  Sounds like the same for GOA members based on other articles as well.  Nice to see a leaning towards ending (or at least slowing) this abhorrent ATF action.

Where is the NRA's statement 

[EdDinIL]

Not a lawyer here... Does that mean:

 

1) they issued an injunction

2) they ordered the lower court to issue an injunction and the lower court must comply ASAP

3) they ordered the lower court to consider issuing an injunction, which the lower court can still refuse to do, because feelings

District case 4:23-cv-00095
Appellate case 23-10319 on the preliminary injunction

The appellate court reversed the denial to issue a preliminary injunction and remanded the motion for a preliminary injunction back to the district court without limitation. The district court is directed to resolve the motion within 60 days (of August 1). The Appellate court had issued its own injunction on May 23 pending appeal. It has extended that injunction for 60 days to cover the time until the district court reconsiders the motion.

CA5 said:

...
We place no limitation on the matters that the conscientious district court may address on remand, and we give no indication of what decisions it should reach, regarding a preliminary injunction or any other matter.

So the district court can do whatever it wants. However, the district court just got reversed, so in practice "whatever it wants" pretty much means that the terms of the injunction are up to the court, but there has to be an injunction.

... and of course, the case itself has not yet been heard. All this furor is about a preliminary injunction. Nevertheless, we should probably expect the government to petition the Supreme Court quickly. Maybe Alito will stay the circuit court like he did for aluminum blocks (VanDerStok).

[Euler]

On August 4, the district judge set the following schedule for the reconsideration of a preliminary injunction.

August 18: plaintiffs' brief to plead for the preliminary injunction is due
September 1: defendants' response is due
September 9: plaintiffs' reply is due
