What's the relevance?

[Inoxmark]

Why is this proceeding still? The main mag capacity case is in Benitez’ hands and we kinda know what ruling to expect from him. Nobody envisions a loss at this stage. Barred some catastrophic change of mind, the decision in Duncan case would be in our favor.
What is the point of dragging along another identical case in front of another judge with questionable outcome? Plaintiff’s inflated ego?

Attorney fees?

[curtisfong]

No, there are still claims remaining which were stayed pending Duncan, then Bruen, which have now restarted.

IIRC Benetez is hearing Duncan, Rhode and Miller on Dec 12. Will he hear Wiese that day too?

[Bhobbs]

I don’t think Wiese is being heard by Benitez.

correct. no happy forum shopping result for this case.

[Paladin]

Benitez will be busy enough on Dec 12: his 4th 2A case that day is Fouts (baton case).

[offrdmania]

No decisions made on the 12th. Its going to be months again before there is a possible ruling

[homelessdude]

About two or three probably. Far better than waiting years. JMO

THANK YOU!!!

ORDER signed by Senior Judge William B. Shubb on 01/13/23 VACATING the 01/17/23 Status Conference.

More delay….

[curtisfong]

Well. That's interesting

The court previously lifted the stay in this case after
the Supreme Court vacated the judgment in Duncan v. Bonta, No.
19-55376, and the Ninth Circuit remanded Duncan for further
proceedings consistent with New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n,
Inc. v Bruen, 142 S. Ct. 2111 (2022). (Docket No. 116.) The
court notes that plaintiffs wish to move for summary judgment
forthwith without any discovery, while defendants seek expert and
fact discovery before the parties file cross motions for summary
judgment. (Docket No. 115.)
Having considered the parties’ positions, the court
will allow plaintiffs to file their motion for summary judgment
forthwith. The court will then consider request under Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d) after plaintiffs’ motion for
summary judgment has been filed, should defendants feel discovery
is necessary to respond to plaintiffs’ motion.
The January 17, 2023 status conference is hereby
VACATED.

Not a delay, per se. Sounds like the judge struck middle ground preempting the need for that status conference. Still a chance it goes back to discovery after motion is filed, but gives plaintiffs an opportunity to tailor to avoid the need, if they choose.

Plaintiffs (us): “Here are complete spreadsheets provided by defendant in another venue proving there is no Text, History or Tradition to support their position.”

So, what is likely to happen next?

[Bhobbs]

I’m surprised this case is moving forward at all with Duncan being ahead of it.
