The legal battle between Ripple and the SEC is approaching another key date. While the community is excited for what might be the end of the lawsuit, some are spreading misinformation about the current state of the lawsuit and its potential end.
Bill Morgan, a well-known community member and attorney closely following the proceedings, has corrected these false assertions, explaining Judge Torres’ current role, the next move the SEC needs to make, and what the XRP army should expect.
Morgan Says Judge Torres’ Role Has Ended
A recent thread on X suggested that Judge Analisa Torres still has a pending role in resolving the case and that a decision from the court is imminent.
Morgan explained that contrary to these claims, Judge Torres has already completed her responsibilities in the matter. However, the appeal itself remains formally unresolved because neither party has yet finalized the necessary joint dismissal.
Morgan clarified that both parties had earlier signed a conditional agreement to dismiss their respective appeals. Still, the conditions were not met, as Judge Torres rejected their joint motion for an indicative ruling that would have put that settlement agreement into effect.
The
contains inaccuracies. There is no decision pending from the Court.
Judge Torres’ role is over.
We are just waiting for the SEC commissioners to vote on dismissing the Appeal and the parties to take that final step dismissing their respective appeals.
Ripple already… https://t.co/ZTQozwlVv9

While Ripple has announced its intention to dismiss its appeal, the dismissal process cannot proceed unilaterally. According to Morgan, “We are just waiting for the SEC commissioners to vote on dismissing the appeal.” Following the vote, both parties can take the final steps to make the dismissal of the XRP lawsuit official.

August 15 Is Not a Final Deadline
The upcoming August 15 date has been widely referenced as a potential turning point in the case. While it is true that both parties are expected to file a status update with the appellate court by that date, Morgan emphasized that this is not a legal deadline for resolving the appeals themselves.
Rather, it is a reporting obligation to inform the court about the current status of the appeals. “Dismissal of the appeals may happen, and is more likely to happen than not, before the 15 August deadline,” Morgan noted.
Former SEC attorney Marc Fagel has also stated that the SEC will likely file its dismissal before that date, but emphasized that it is not a deadline. Morgan also left open the possibility that the parties might request another extension.
While Morgan sees an additional extension as unlikely, he acknowledged that the litigation has already defied expectations multiple times. He concluded that nothing should be assumed with certainty until formal steps are taken.
