Effect of asking for cert. in Drake on Richards-Peruta-Baker?

[Paladin]

Today SAF/Gura asked for cert. in Drake (NJ carry case).

Will that make it more likely that the 9th Circuit will wait for SCOTUS to decide whether to take Drake or not before releasing their decision/s in the Richards-Peruta-Baker cases? (If SCOTUS takes Drake, the 9th will put our carry cases on hold pending SCOTUS decision in Drake next term (probably in 2015).)

Or will the 9th just keep doing their job regardless?

And then there's the Palmer factor too.

I'm not a lawyer but I wrote one once into a script.

I think it will delay the 9th, if for no other reason that I believe the 9th is in a corner. If they were going to rule against us they would have done it by now. We have zero means to defend ourselves outside of our homes in this state, and there is past precedent that pointed to the fact that we once had OC, and thus were not defenseless.

Well now there is no CC or OC. What are we to do?

We should wait to see if the Supreme Court will take up this matter. Before that, a ruling would be premature. If the high court should decline, then we will have to take some time to consider the actions pending in our circuit, though due deference should also be given for decisions still waiting at district court. We would best wait until any such ruling has completed the appellate process, and then …

More cover for the court to Palmerize us.

The 9th shouldn't alter course until Scotus actually accepts a case. Then they'll just put it on ice.

The Ninth will wait to release their decision until the US Supreme Court decides to grant certiorari. If the Supreme Court grants the Ninth will not release any opinion until the decision is released. If the Supreme Court doesn't grant they will release their decision whenever they want.

How would putting it on ice be an alteration of their current course?

The Ninth will wait to release their decision until the US Supreme Court decides to grant certiorari. If the Supreme Court grants the Ninth will not release any opinion until the decision is released. If the Supreme Court doesn't grant they will release their decision whenever they want.

This logically reduces to: "they will release their decision whenever they want[, if they feel like it]."

Basically what will happen in the event of a cert grant is they'll probably put some kind of order out to delay and wait for the SCOTUS opinion to be released. Until then, the 9th should render an opinion as normal.
