QUICK REVIEW:
-November 7, 2018 U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York acknowledged the 60 exhibits as presented to them and states that they will comply with federal statute 18 USC 3332 which requires them to present the evidence to a grand jury.

-September 10, 2019 Lawyers Committee For 9/11 Inquiry, Inc. file a lawsuit in the District Court of New York to compel an update on the grand jury. (Case 1:2019cv08312)
In their Second Cause of Action, the Lawyers' Committee for 9/11 Inquiry contend that Defendants’ refusal to present their amended petition to a grand jury “constitutes not only a failure to perform the mandatory duties imposed on the U.S. Attorney by 18 U.S.C. § 3332(a), but also constitutes a violation of Plaintiffs’ First Amendment Right to Petition (the grand jury) for Redress.” (Am. Cmplt. (Dkt. No. 20) ¶ 89)

To the extent that Plaintiffs argue that violation of their First Amendment right to petition the Government is a basis for standing in and of itself, Plaintiffs cite no case law that establishes a right under the First Amendment distinct from Section 3332(a). (Pltf. Opp. (Dkt. No. 30) at 15-16) Although Plaintiffs contend that “being heard [is] an end in itself” (id. at 15), this argument is indistinguishable from the standing arguments Plaintiffs make with respect to their APA and mandamus claims. As such, the standing inquiry for each of these three claims will be treated as coextensive.
