I'd like to help, but the lawsuit was dismissed. The Circuit Court dismissed the lawsuit by mutual agreement in May, 2011 following negotiations on slot swaps and slot exemptions with the ATA. I understand this was part of a larger deal, in which a similar lawsuit at Reagan National, was also settled. Delta ended up having to sell 32 slot pairs at LaGuardia after swapping slots at National with US Airways. It is quite complicated and I can't find all the details. However, the upshot is that the only airport in which the FAA continues to control the slots is Reagan National and the attempt to control the slots in the NYC region did not proceed.
