Are we on or off for Monday?
Gravy. The case is getting kicked down. This case will never be heard until the judge retires.
I want to know that if the feds will accept all forms of case dismissals as a legal dismissal for SORNA. And if that’s the case, then that could help many former registrants with case dismissals to hopefully be absolved from the registry in all 50 states and US territories.
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment…leaving thousands in limbo and worry.
Just before my birthday even tho Ive been off the registery near 10 years all I want for my bday is this case to be heard. But I’m completely ready to hear the new date 1000 more times
What is the case name? I’ve looked through the comments and article and don’t see it.
It’s a very comical outcome to delay the hearing, but this time for legitimate reasons. Of course, all of us are numb to the constant delay, but I do appreciate the update none the less. Thanks for the update!
Just for the SORNA case, right? All the other court cases are sailing along…
Well let’s see a great case for this SORNA situation McGee v The Cal Dept. of Justice 25CV137704 Alameda County Superior Court.. and The United States v McGee 24-5532 9th Cir. or you can visit my twitter page to see all the evidence and facts @ Anthony McGee via twitter, or facebook out of Oakland,CA.
This case is the definition of “Kicking the can down the road”!
Shut down over, new hearing date?
Woohoo! Shutdown has ended! New SORNA Hearing date??
(Nope, I’m not holding my breath. 😒)
What exactly is the dispute? Is this the if you move out of state (after your no longer required to register) and you must register then? I have a fully expunged/certificate of rehab. I’ve not registered for 4-5 years. I lost my professional license after my conviction – 253.4a. Reduced 17b – expunged and obtained a COR. Thank you Janice – your phone call info made me this happen, I’m now back working as a RN! RN, BSN, BA, MBA. I work in the ER. It’s an honor to serve again !
Until after the next shutdown is over…
Meanwhile, we demand EMERGENCY RELIEF, because lives are being lost to this law!
The new date of Jan 26 has been set for the next kick down the road.
So the new hearing date to file for continuance is Jan26th. Got it. BTW, does anyone know what the record is for continuances? because this case is definitely going to break it. Like everything else I experienced while I was a PFR, this entire case has turned into a huge dumpster fire of incompetent lawyers wasting time at the PFRs and their family’s emotional and physical expense.
Waiting…..waiting…..waiting ….
Will the PLF v. SORNA Hearing proceed as scheduled on Monday morning???
🤔🤷🏻♂️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The blatant continuous rescheduling is judicial misconduct how can this be allowed to continue
Justice delayed is justice denied. Sooner or later that rolling stone is going to meet the hard reality that this has all been punishment. God’s speed for that day!
New schedule date is Feb 26th at 9 am.
I do wonder if there will be an amendment from PLF that will include the Ellington case to where at least it prevents the any new SORNA law from being retroactive, but also still continue on to address that laws can only be passed by congress.
Maybe the wait helped this case.
