Due to the passage of HB850 amending the Clear and Present Danger process and the plaintiffs getting their FOID cards back pretty much left no where for the case to go except dismissed.
The amendments to the law do not fix the infringements in the law. HB850 made provisions for an expedited process if a person believes the C&PD was in error but a 30 day window to appeal, 45 day window for the board to schedule a hearing, then a 14 day window for the board to issue a decision could hardly be called expedited or expeditious.
Here is a link to the proposed rules:

The final wrap up on this case does not mean the end of the issue. I fully expect to end up back in court in the future with another case because the violations of constitutional rights are still unresolved.
