There is a lot of movement in Case #80, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. et al v. Cuomo et al. This was the NRA sponsored case filed on March 21st. I honestly hadn't expected to see what I did, today, when I logged onto PACER.
On April 11th, a First Amended Complaint was filed.
Then on April 15th, the Plaintiffs filed a Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. That same day, the Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Expedited Hearing on the MPI.
On April 16th, the Defendants filed a Motion to Extend Time to File an answer to the complaint.
On April 22, the NRA filed a Motion for Leave to File an Amicus Curiae Brief in Support of Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction. That brief was authored by NRA attorney, Charles Cooper.
On May 14th, another amici in support of the Plaintiffs, Motioned to File. That proposed brief is here. I could tell, by the writing style, that this brief was written by Chuck Michel, of the CA law firm, Michel & Associates. A very, very good read.
It is significant that several NY law enforcement organizations and individuals have signed onto this amicus brief. This particular brief should carry a fair amount of weight with the court.
The court has granted an small amount of time for replies and rebuttals. See the docket for complete information.
A small note. The court here, is apparently treating this matter as a real impediment to the rights of citizens. Things are certainly moving much faster than all the other cases combined. Expect a hearing on the MPI (and any other cross-motions) to be held by August.
