The District of Columbia is suing RW, and on April 20, 2026, the court issued a written opinion in the case. The docket number and presiding judge are not yet confirmed in available records, but the opinion marks a substantive ruling — not a procedural housekeeping order.

The underlying dispute has not been fully detailed in public filings indexed here, but the District of Columbia as plaintiff signals this is a government enforcement or civil action, not private litigation. D.C. brings cases of this type in local Superior Court or federal court depending on the claim; the court of record has not been confirmed.

The April 2026 opinion is the event that matters right now. Courts issue written opinions when they are resolving a motion of consequence — summary judgment, a motion to dismiss, or a preliminary injunction request. Until the opinion's text is fully indexed, the precise ruling and its effect on the parties remain unclear.

What is clear: the case is active. An opinion does not end litigation unless it disposes of all claims. If the court ruled on fewer than all claims, or if the losing party has appeal rights, this case has more runway.
