Current stage: Hearing Scheduled
The plaintiffs filed a complaint and multiple motions (including requests to proceed under pseudonyms, to file exhibits under seal, and for a temporary restraining order/preliminary injunction), and an in-person presentment was originally scheduled in early June. The court granted the government’s motion to reassign the case and struck the plaintiffs’ TRO motion as moot; subsequent docket entries include a terse “Dismiss/Lack of Jurisdiction” entry and an order on a motion to stay, but the precise final disposition and effects of those entries are not clearly stated on the docket.
