Holder, was filed by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, and is financially supported by the Second Amendment Foundation. It involves plaintiffs residing in Texas and the District of Columbia, and the ruling last month by U.S. District Judge Reed O\u2019Connor of the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, found that \u201cthe federal interstate handgun transfer ban is unconstitutional on its face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The government had asked for a 60-day stay in order to decide whether to file an appeal. But Judge O\u2019Connor ruled today that a stay is not warranted because the government could offer no other reasons for its request other than the court\u2019s \u201cinherent authority to manage its docket.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that Judge O\u2019Connor is not going to simply allow the government to stall this ruling,\u201d said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. \u201cThis case could have significant ramifications nationwide, and allowing a two-month stay while the government essentially claims it will be thinking about whether to appeal obviously was not warranted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CCRKBA and the individual plaintiffs are represented by Virginia attorney Alan Gura and Texas attorney William B. \u201cBill\u201d Mateja of Fish &amp; Richardson in Dallas.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Justice Department had requested a 60-day stay in Mance v.
