Instead of disabling it, what you probably need to do is check the gesture recognizer's state property and only display the next view controller if the state is UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan (or UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded).

You'll need to change your method to accept the gesture recognizer as a parameter (and also update the @selector parameter) and check it's state:

UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPressTap = 
    [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self 
        action:@selector(memberListWithSearchOptions:)];  //colon at end

//...

- (void)memberListWithSearchOptions:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)lpt
{
    if (lpt.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan)
        //or check for UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded instead
    {
        //display view controller...
    }
}
