In other words:
Judge Ho did not dismiss Adams’ case at this time. Instead, he appointed Clement to act as a friend of the court to present his own briefing on the issues Judge Ho set forth in his Order.
Both sides and Clement will file briefs for the court to consider to reach his decision.

JUST HITTING THE DOCKET:
Judge Ho has entered an Order wherein he appoints Paul Clement as an amicus (a friend of the court to stand in the shoes of the former DOJ attorneys who were on this case) to argue its Motion to Dismiss. He adjourned Adams’ trial & terminated all pending trial deadlines.

Or, to be fair, maybe he's being super-cautious so Trump can't get SCOTUS to reverse whatever his ruling is. But the delay is still infuriating.
