The hearing for dismissal ended a while ago in DC. Now we’re just waiting for a ruling from the judge.
[Update a while later]
Note: it could be weeks before we get a ruling. The law says that it should be prompt, but that’s what it said about the hearing as well, and it’s been months since we filed (today’s hearing was originally scheduled for mid-April). But as long as there is no ruling, the case doesn’t move forward.
Best wishes and I hope all goes well.
I hope Mann is ordered to pay your legal expenses.
For that to happen, the judge will not only have to rule to dismiss, but to do so with prejudice. I’m more hopeful of the former than the latter, but it’s certainly possible, and we certainly made the case for it. And if it happens, people like Phil Plait will be majorly butthurt.

Is Plait party to the suit?
No, just one of Mann’s more vociferous cheerleaders.
