After months of inactivity, a lawsuit challenging the legality of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) __gVirt_NP_NN_NNPS <__ funding for human embryonic stem cells (hESC) research may soon be moving again. Today, plaintiffs' lawyers in Sherley v. Sebelius asked US District Judge Royce Lamberth to allow the two sides to meet an April 29 decision from a federal appeals court.
In a victory for NIH, this decision overturned the preliminary injunction Lamberth last August that briefly stop hESC research.
The complainants note that 2-1 opinion of the court of appeal "expressly left many questions unanswered." They want to be given until 3 June to a page file 10 (or less) additional memory, the defendants respond to 10 pages by June 24, and that claimants until July 6 to submit a response five pages. In September the two parties asked Lamberth's prompt action in the case; the latest submissions were filed in October.
