Looks like the 2257 injunction for secondary producers will be over soon
Better get your records ready folks.
The court has required the FSC to demonstrate why it should not lose the secondary producer claim by April 16, 2007, given the passage of the Adam Walsh Act. The government must submit its response by April 30. At any time thereafter, the court could revisit its injunction decision given the fact that the Adam Walsh Act has essentially mooted the arguments that the regulations do not apply to secondary producers. It is likely that the injunction will be dissolved once the court renders its ruling on this issue, although the FSC may request a stay of that order pending a possible appeal.
