#GoodluckvBiden #DV2021 Update: We have filed plaintiffs' reply in support of our cross motion for summary judgment, with 9 exhibits. Here's the 40-page brief (but not the exhibits as they are personal to individual plaintiffs).
Next, we work with the government attorneys and file a “Joint Appendix” by February 25, 2022, and then the matter is in Judge Mehta’s hands. Before you ask, there is no “deadline” by which he must make his final decision. There are many complicated issues though, so I would not expect that order before April.
Special thanks to all our Goodluck plaintiffs for their continued patience throughout this journey. Everyone have a good weekend.

#GoodluckvBiden #DV2021 Update: Government has filed motion for leave to file surreply. They appear to be attacking standing for a small number of plaintiffs for petty reasons. It makes them look desperate.
#GoodluckvBiden FAQ: When will Judge Mehta issue his order on pending summary judgment motions?
Answer: We do not know. Judges have discretion on when they issue their orders. I would not hope for the order before April, simply because the order will take work and Judge Mehta has a lot of important cases right now.

If you are contemplating having children or marrying a new spouse, note that they will not be eligible for a visa previously reserved by a court order.

Had an great visit today with a #DV2021 selectee & #GoodluckvBiden plaintiff from Algeria. He said this photo was ok, but next time he needs to be holding that green card! -curtis
Our thoughts are with the Yemeni people, including our Yemeni clients (18 #GoodluckvBiden families are still in Yemen). May you stay safe. 🙏 - curtis
