NC Ex Post Facto Lawsuit Will Proceed – a big win for NARSOL
Yesterday, NARSOL and John Doe Plaintiffs got a victory against the State of North Carolina, which sought to dismiss a lawsuit brought to challenge the constitutionality of the North Carolina Registry.

Because the Court concludes that Plaintiffs have stated a claim upon which relief may be granted, Defendants’ motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint for failure to state a claim must, therefore, be denied.”

It is a big win for NARSOL, a big win for advocate organizations and a strong persuasive precedent for other active cases, including ours in Florida.
