The National Rifle Association has withdrawn its federal lawsuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James
The NRA says in a statement that it"voluntarily" withdrew this suit"in favor of pursuing the same claims against James in New York State court in Manhattan." It filed a similar suit in New York state court in February.Judge dismisses NRA's bankruptcy petition, allowing New York AG lawsuit to move forward"The NRA dropping its countersuit today in federal court is an implicit admission that their strategy would never prevail," James said in a statement.
The decision means the NRA will not have bankruptcy protections, which it has said are needed to protect against a"barrage of litigation" the organization is facing. It also means that the NRA cannot reorganize in the state of Texas without approval from the New York Attorney General's office, James said last month. The NRA had requested to be reincorporated in Texas when it filed for bankruptcy, a move hailed by Texas politicians.
