NEW: in court-ordered update on the status of a bogus FDA “review” of the abortion drug mifepristone, DOJ says data coming in December with review complete “not later than March 2027.” Footnote says they could restrict access as data comes in 👀 litigationtracker.law.georgetown.edu/wp-content/u...
Case 6:25-cv-01491-DCJ-DJA Document 278

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
LAFAYETTE DIVISION
THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
V.
U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, et al.,
No. 6:25-cv-01491-DCJ-DJA
Federal Defendants,
and
DANCO LABORATORIES, et al.,
Intervenor Defendants.
FEDERAL DEFENDANTS' STATUS REPORT
On April 7, 2026, this Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary relief and
granted Federal Defendants' motion to stay proceedings "pending completion of [the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration's] ongoing review of the mifepristone REMS and
issuance of any resulting agency decision." ECF No. 258 at 36. The Court directed FDA to file a report within six months "providing the Court with the status of its review in
terms of process and any updated timeframe for completion of the review." Id.
Accordingly, FDA reports as follows:
FDA is conducting a study to assess the safety of mifepristone, in a
regimen with misoprostol, for the medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy6:25-cv-01491-DCJ-DJA Document 278

REMS review. In addition, FDA has been directed to reconsider the 2023 decision
modifying the REMS in two other cases. See Purcell v. Kennedy, Civ. No. 17-00493, 2025
WL 310785 (D. Haw. Oct. 30, 2025); Whole Woman's Health Alliance v. U.S. Food and Drug
Admin., Civ. No. 3:23-00019, 2026 WL 2125567 (W.D. Va. July 23, 2026). Among other
things, those decisions require FDA to apply statutory factors in 21 U.S.C. § 355-1(a)(1)
that, based on the Agency's interpretation of the statutory requirements, it has not
previously evaluated in approving modifications to the REMS; compare mifepristone to
certain other drugs with comparable risks under 21 U.S.C. § 355-1(f) (2) (D)(i); consider
publications beyond those that FDA evaluated in reaching its 2023 decision; and consider the views of patients, providers, and pharmacists if the Agency is considering
imposing elements to assure safe use (also known as ETASU) under 21 U.S.C. § 355-
1(f)(2) as part of the Mifepristone REMS Program.
7. Following completion of its study and review, FDA will decide whether
changes to the Mifepristone REMS Program are necessary and, if applicable, initiate any
such changes in accordance with established processes. FDA anticipates that it will be
able to provide an update to its estimated date of completion as more information
becomes known, particularly in March 2027 when it expects to complete its report on
the final study results
3 In response to the Court's direction to describe "FDA's authority to issue interim orders addressing the prescribing or distribution of a drug if confronted with concerning information during its review," ECF No. 229, the government previously outlined FDA's authorities regarding approval suspension, labeling changes, and REMS

BREAKING: In a win for Georgia voters, a state court dismissed a Republican lawsuit seeking to limit where mail-in ballots can be returned in Gwinnett County. The ruling preserves an additional way for voters in Georgia's second-most populous county to return their ballots before the midterms.
In the document, the heading reads "In the Superior Court of Gwinnett County State of Georgia." It involves the Republican National Committee, Gwinnett County Republican Party, and Tim Fleming as plaintiffs, and David Hancock and others as defendants, along with DSCC and Jon Ossoff for Senate as intervenors. The text is an order denying a motion for an interlocutory injunction and granting motions to dismiss. The document outlines the case concerning absentee ballot applications. The filing includes official stamps and electronic file marks.
