On July 2, 1998, at the request of the FEC, and with the consent of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed this case without prejudice and remanded the matter back to the FEC to review the impact of the appellate and U.S. Supreme Court decisions in Akins v. FEC on issues presented in this case.
