| JUDGE RETIRES IN MAG BAN / AW BAN CASE,
LEAVING CASE UNRESOLVED |
July 17, 2024. In an unexpected development, Judge Peter Sheridan, the federal lower court judge in our magazine ban and “assault firearm” ban lawsuits, has retired from the bench without issuing a decision in the case, which was close to the finish line. A new judge will have to be appointed.
This news is certain to impact the timing in the case. A new judge will have to be appointed and take additional time to get up to speed on the case and perhaps conduct additional proceedings, which would otherwise be unnecessary. Whichever way this lower-court case is ultimately decided, gun owners should then expect an appeal to the middle-level federal court, and a possible further appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court after that. ANJRPC's lawsuit is postured to be one of the leading cases in the nation on these issues. Please watch for further updates and alerts as the case unfolds.
