Frequently Asked Questions

Why was Rare Breed Triggers' lawsuit against the ATF dismissed?

The lawsuit was dismissed 'without prejudice' because Rare Breed and the ATF failed to file a required case management plan with the court. This is a procedural issue, not a ruling on the actual merits of whether the FRT is a machine gun.

Can Rare Breed Triggers refile their lawsuit against the ATF?

Yes, because the dismissal was 'without prejudice,' Rare Breed has the option to refile their lawsuit. They could also potentially seek reconsideration if they can prove the ATF was solely responsible for the failure to file the case management plan.

What does 'dismissed without prejudice' mean in a legal context?

A dismissal without prejudice means the case is removed from the court's docket but does not prevent the plaintiff from filing the same lawsuit again. It is not a final judgment on the legal issues involved.

What is a case management plan in federal court?

A case management plan is a document that sets key milestones and due dates for various stages of a lawsuit. It's used to keep cases moving efficiently and prevent them from clogging court dockets.
