DD Appellate Actions

April 22, 2020

Legionnaires,

Our many legal actions proceed apace:

In Defense Distributed v. Grewal, No. 1:18-cv-00637-RP (W.D. Tex.) and No. 19-50723 (5th Cir.), the Fifth Circuit has scheduled oral arguments for May 4th. AG Grewal attempted to delay the date with a vague appeal to legal emergencies related to Covid (I have written about this tactic elsewhere), but his request was denied.

The AG of Pennsylvania has presented a bold public stand against DEFCAD’s recent file publication. But in his case against us, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Defense Distributed, No. 2:18-cv-03208-PD (E.D. PA), he has asked for an indefinite delay of proceedings.

What could this mean?
