In the case,

As stated in the Motion (doc 66) Richard Gardiner is now a Judge:
Quote:
|
COMES NOW Richard E. Gardiner, counsel for Plaintiffs, and moves the court for leave to withdraw as counsel as he has been elected a judge of the Nineteenth Judicial District of Virginia and will be sworn in on June 28, 2013.

I expect that he has withdrawn from all of his cases, not just those he worked on for the NRA.
If you are a glutton for punishment, you might want to read DC's MSJ and the related exhibits. That will give you a thorough background in the plaintiffs MSJ. What is striking however, is the plaintiffs Opposition brief (and its exhibits). They literally shred the defendants reasons and experts to pieces.
Whether or not the Judge buys all of this, it is nonetheless highly entertaining.
