Jan 4, 2012 -- This morning, attorneys for the Holy Land Foundation sent the Muslim Legal Fund of America a copy of the petition for rehearing en banc (a request for a rehearing of an appeal by all sitting judges instead of a panel of three judges) and explained the next steps in the appeals process.

The Fifth Circuit asked the government to respond to the petition by January 24. After that, it may take the court a few months to decide whether to grant a rehearing. The attorney's anticipate that we may not hear an answer on the petition until July or later. 

Dec 7, 2011 - This morning we received notice that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals  affirmed all convictions and dismissed the Holy Land Foundation appeal.

Make no mistake; this fight is not over.
