SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 29 – Cities including
Syracuse, New York sued
Federal AFP for failure to act
on "ghost guns." Specifically
they have alleged a failure to
enforce the Gun Control Act,
and that ATF "unlawfully
ignored a Petition of
Rulemaking filed in December
2019."
On
September 29 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Gregory H. Woods held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The cities'
lawyer explained how the guns
have no serial numbers.
Judge Woods
ruled that "the briefing
schedule for the parties’
anticipated motions for
summary judgment is as
follows: (a) Defendants will
produce the administrative
record by October 26, 2020;
(b) Plaintiffs’ motion for
summary judgment will be filed
by November 25, 2020; (c)
Defendants’ cross-motion for
summary judgment will be filed
by January 8, 2021; (d)
Plaintiffs’ reply/opposition
will be filed by February 5,
2021; and (e) Defendants’
reply on any cross-motion will
be filed by February 19, 2021.
The parties are directed to
comply with the Southern
District of New York’s Local
Rules and the Court’s
Individual Rules of Practice
in Civil Cases, specifically
the Rules governing motions
for summary judgment and
courtesy copies. The parties
are directed to submit the
full administrative record in
electronic format with Optical
Character Recognition along
with their courtesy copies."
The case is City
of Syracuse, NY et al v.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives et al,
20-cv-6885 (Woods)
