With the help of the Amici curiae status, Attorney John E Deaton will be permitted to put forward brief legal questions and concerns on behalf of Individual Movants. Furthermore, the court denied Movantsâ Motion to Intervene, however, it reinstates that the exclusive amici curiae status will prove beneficial to the court during the briefing on dispositive motions.
âMovants, in their individual capacities, shall be permitted to act as amici curiae in this action. As such, Movants shall be allowed to assist the Court by briefing legal issues relevant to the case as approved in advance by the Court. The Court contemplates that such assistance will be most beneficial during the briefing on dispositive motions but may exercise its discretion to request or deny further applications as appropriate.â, stated the court.
Movants make compelling arguments
The courtâs recent order has raised speculations of the final verdict gravitating towards the defendantâs favor as the interests of the Individual Movants and the XRP Community are aligned. The SEC claims securities status for XRP and alleges the violation of the Securities Act by the defendants in lieu of selling these digital assets. The Movants argue otherwise, contending the plaintiffâs complaint, asserting that if XRP sales are marked as illegal, then the list of culprits extends far beyond the defendants.
Individual Movants assert that the SEC complaint âdirectly attack[s] XRP Holdersâ through mischaracterizations of XRP Holdersâ use of XRP and XRPâs connection to Defendants. Movants argue that the SECâs claim that âthe very ânature of XRP itselfâ makes it a security,â leads to the conclusion that ââevery individual in the world who is selling XRP would be committing a Section 5 violation,ââ and so the XRP Holdersâ XRP will be affected by the outcome of this litigation.
