According to Attorney Jeremy Hogan, the next couple of months might be exciting for Ripple in the ongoing legal tussle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), considering the major rulings that are being teed up.
Hogan stated this as one major takeaway from the recent order issued by Judge Torres in the ongoing case when reacting to a tweet shared by the Cryptolaw founder, John Deaton.

The recent ruling also partly granted and denied motions by Ripple defendants to seal some exhibits of previous motions.

Judge Torres will unseal an email to Larsen and legal memos to Ripple, finding the justification for sealing “unjustified,” but would grant redactions to Garlinghouse in three documents to preserve “potentially sensitive information” and the public release of some documents filed by both parties.
Finally, Torres will provide Ripple the opportunity to respond to the SEC’s recent motion to strike the fair notice defense.
