The appellees have elected to file a consolidated joint response brief in both
Moore and
Shepard. That brief is attached.
This is pretty much the standard "In the Home" only argument. Since they make no mention of
Woolard, Weaver or
Bateman, they are gambling that the Court doesn't know of these cases.
The reply briefs will be due on May 23rd. Expect both the SAF and NRA to mention the cases above, and that the "In the Home" argument is losing.

The first entry, appears to be the letter received by Judge Myerscough (
Moore) last November (#36). We may or may not get to see what that was about.
The last entry was letting the Court know that Alan Gura will be making the oral argument to the Court. Um, June 8th is the date set for that.
This is fast tracking, indeed!
