In essence, the motion aims to expedite the lawsuit by requesting the presiding judge to make a final decision via a Summary Judgment.
For those who have not been up to date with the Ripple lawsuit, the Summary Judgment means that the judge will decide if XRP is indeed a security and that Ripple has violated the law by selling XRP without prior notice or filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
