Rhode v. Becerra (Challenge to CA Ammo Sales) - ORAL ARGS at 9th 11-9-2020

[The Cable Guy]

Well, Trumps been busy. Maybe Judge B's load may ease off in the future? Somehow I doubt it will...the 9th is too big and needs to be broken into smaller pieces.

Not sure why we're talking about the 9th Circuit. This is in District Court, it hasn't ben ruled on yet, so an appeal cannot be made yet, so it is not being sent to any Circuit court as of right now.

Does this mean that Benitez is no longer overseeing the case, and if so, how does Burkhardt stand with the 2A?

Mandatory settlement conferences are usually handled by magistrate judges or lawyers, not the federal judge assigned to the case. Nothing unusual about this.

I do not trust decisions made by magistrate's. These are appointed positions and they usually side with the State or State Official's more so if the latter are defendant's in the case. We will see maybe what happens here.

I am pretty sure the judge at mandatory settlement conference has little to no power on the outcome.

The settlement conference seems like such a waste of time. There is no room for compromise - the CA-DoJ is powerless to modify the law, so where is the room for compromise?

My mistake. I seem to be rolling Federal District and Appeals all together. Clearly incorrect.

On that note, albeit off topic, how are district court judges appointed? Who does the appointing? Nevermind...the interwebz tell me that the President appoints Fed. District judges, as well.

JOINT MOTION TO VACATE THE MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

Glad there was something both sides could agree on...

[FirearmFino]

ORDER: (1) GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO VACATE MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE; AND (2) VACATING MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

^^^ means what?

[jessdigs]

It means they are not going to waste time and resources to hold a settlement conference to discuss the possibility of settlement.
The plantiffs know the law is unconstitutional, and the state believes it is. So having a conference go to argue these points is pointless.
No one is going to settle.

So we move on.
