The judge denied one of the most significant remedies proposed by New York Attorney General Letitia James after a jury found the NRA and its executives liable in a civil corruption trial.

A New York judge on Monday temporarily banned Wayne LaPierre from returning to lead the National Rifle Association but said he would not appoint an independent monitor to oversee the gun rights group.

State Supreme Court Judge Joel Cohen denied one of the most significant remedies proposed by New York Attorney General Letitia James after a jury found the NRA and its executives liable in a civil corruption trial.

In February, jurors determined that LaPierre, 74, had diverted millions of dollars from the NRA to live luxuriously, while the organization failed to properly manage its finances and adopt a whistleblower policy.

Cohen has spent the last two weeks weighing whether to award nonmonetary relief in the second phase of the civil trial.

James sought to permanently bar LaPierre from returning to the lead the NRA or its affiliates. Cohen issued a 10-year ban instead.

The attorney general also wanted the judge to appoint an independent monitor who would oversee the NRA’s finances and report to the court for three years, which he did not do.
