SF's 28j letter filed

[CMonfort]

UPDATE

Earlier today, our office filed a 28(j) letter with the Ninth Circuit addressing the impact of Peruta on this case and responding to the City's arguments raised in its recent letter to the Court.

[fizux]

OP updated with 28j letters yesterday, and
9CA opinion this morning (thanks, Window_Seat).

[Rossi357]

Another rational basis opinion.

[Paladin]

IIRC, M&A have through Friday to ask SCOTUS for cert....

[wolfwood]

They kicked this one up to Papa Bear i.e. Paul Clement to draft the writ.

Official Update

We are finishing up the cert petition and will be filing it on Friday. For strategic reasons that I won't go into on these forums, we have opted to seek review of only the locked storage requirement.

We will be seeking plenary (full) review by the Supreme Court or, in the alternative, summary reversal of the Ninth Circuit's decision.

I will post a link to the brief on Friday.

It seems we're about to find out if this Supreme Court has abandoned the 2A after all...

Surely not upholding their own locked storage rulings would be a historical event...

Especially with a lower court in naked rebellion?

Especially with a lower court in naked rebellion?

This does seem like a very pointed strategic move against rebellious lower courts. Maybe this could pin the ears back in some other circuits if SCOTUS gives a quick summary reversal simply saying "Read Heller you Dolts, it contains more than you admit."

[Window_Seat]

If they take it, could it be consolidated with a carry outside the home case like Palmer? If so, I could just hear the opinion announcement:

"We are once again, asked to decide what we decided in District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. City of Chicago. For the third and final time, . . . "

Especially with a lower court in naked rebellion?

Bad visual. On the other hand, the District Court in Nevada... Nevermind, I'll get into trouble.

Thx.

So, it gets filed on Friday, the 12th, the last conference day in Dec. Any rough idea (e.g., month) of when it will be considered in conference?

July? All cases go through an extensive vetting process before they go into conference. The court also has to decide to take some 100 ish cases out of like 2000? They have to get to it.

[press1280]

Sooner than July. 3 months depending on how much SF tries to stall? if everything goes smoothly it may have a shot at being heard and decided by the summer.
