Risky. Lack of notice would be something the State could complain about on appeal.. Better to do it the right way with a motion. And those you file only with the right preparation and fully supported.

So now we play the waiting game to see how the judge will rule. I wonder how long he will take?????

Oh, not long, I think. The judge doesn't have to do a lot here. A couple of weeks, maybe less.

Do you think the longer it takes, the worse the outcome may be for our side?

That's not at all clear. He appeared like he wanted to rule for us on the "receive" vagueness claim. He brought that up sua sponte. He could do that.

3 weeks since the hearing and nothing....

Given that this was a hearing on a motion to dismiss, it's a pretty simple decision I would think.

I have no idea what's going on. It may only be that the judge is busy with other matters. In federal court, criminal matters get a preference.

Thank you for keeping us all up to date!

MSI and the other plaintiffs won almost everything on the State's motion to dismiss in an order issued today by Judge Garbis. Announcement and details and a copy of the opinion will be posted shortly on MSI's website.
