I haven't looked at the Moore v. Madigan docket, but probably not. When a decision is issued that is particularly relevant (& that wasn't previously available), the attorney can often cite the new case as supplemental authority. Counsel will have to notify the court and opposing counsel, but yes, there are ways of saying, "Hey, Judge! Lookit this new case!"
