"Given the urgency of the defendants' motion, they have requested the court to make a swift decision, ideally before 10:00 a.m. CDT on July 24, 2023," Federal District Court Judge Reed O’Connor wrote in his Order. After reviewing the motion, he denied the request for a stay pending appeal. However, he did hold the applicability of his Opinion and Final Judgment for 7 days to enable the defendants to pursue emergency appellate relief.
"We're certainly not pleased with the Court's decision to temporarily hold the applicability of its Opinion and Final Judgment, which rejects the ATF's Frame or Receiver Rule. But, we believe this is a short-term situation and the Court's Judgement will soon be reinstated," said Cody J. Wisniewski, FPCAF's lead attorney for Constitutional Litigation and FPC's legal representative in the case.
He further added, "We have already successfully challenged the ATF's unlawful and unconstitutional rule at the district court level. We're confident that we can replicate this victory at the Fifth Circuit."
This case involves two individuals, Tactical Machining, LLC, and FPC as plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are represented by FPCAF, in collaboration with the Mountain States Legal Foundation.
