I wanted to update our many friends as to the legal whereabouts of Mann v. National Review. The D.C. Court of Appeals has now issued a briefing schedule, with briefing set to be complete by September 24, and oral argument on our Anti-SLAPP motion to dismiss Mann’s complaint to be heard some time in November. Of course, if you’d like an excellent read on just what this case is all about, check out Charlie Cooke’s cover story (if you haven’t already) from the May 5, 2014, issue of National Review. (If you’d like to help NR cover its legal expenses related to this case, please donate her e; it will be deeply appreciated.)

Jack Fowler is the vice president of National Review . @jackfowler
