1. NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NRA CLASS ACTION PLAINTIFF SUED FOR FRAUD
AND BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY
Knoxville, Tennessee -- October 11, 2022 -- Tennessee lawyer Elliott J. Schuchardt has
filed suit against the plaintiff in a class action lawsuit currently pending against the National
Rifle Association.
The defendant in the case is David Dell'Aquila. In 2019, Dell'Aquila filed a class action
lawsuit against the National Rifle Association, with Schuchardt's assistance. In that case,
Dell'Aquila claimed to be a high-value donor to the NRA, who had been wronged by the NRA's
marketing policies. Schuchardt represented Dell'Aquila for the first year of the case, and
obtained standing for Dell'Aquila in the case.
Schuchardt's lawsuit against Dell'Aquila alleges that Dell'Aquila committed fraud in his
business dealings with Schuchardt. According to the complaint, Schuchardt represented
Dell'Aquila in connection with a probate estate -- currently being administered by Dell'Aquila in
Nashville, Tennessee. Schuchardt alleges in the complaint that Dell'Aquila committed fraud by
falsely telling Schuchardt that Dell'Aquila intended to quickly settle the litigation. Instead, the
case continued for four years, with no payment to creditors. The complaint alleges that
Dell'Aquila intentionally breached his fiduciary duty to the estate's creditors, by refusing to settle
the case in a commercially reasonable manner.
Schuchardt is a 1993 graduate of Columbia Law School. Schuchardt has spent much of
the last ten years engaging in civil liberties work in the courts. In 2015, he obtained an
injunction preventing Sweet Briar College, located in Amherst, Virginia, from closing.

2. Schuchardt has also challenged federal government policies alleging the unlawful collection of e-
mail. The NRA case was Schuchardt's third case involving national public policy.
Schuchardt's case against Dell'Aquila is filed in the Circuit Court for Knox County,
Tennessee.
