SCOTUS To New York City - Motion Denied


The City of New York had filed a motion to hold the briefing schedule in NY State Rifle and Pistol Association v. City of New York in abeyance. Their argument was that since the NYPD were proposing to modify regulations on transport for those with premises permits that the briefing schedule should be suspended. In other words, we say we are going to change the regulations in question which might moot the case so don't make us go to all the work necessary to respond to the plaintiffs.

In the orders issued by the Supreme Court today, their motion was denied.
18-280       NY STATE RIFLE & PISTOL, ET AL. V. NEW YORK, NY, ET AL.

The motion of respondents to hold the briefing schedule in abeyance is denied.
Paul Clement is the attorney of record for the NY State Rifle & Pistol Association and opposed this motion to hold briefing in abeyance. He said that "a stay is neither necessary nor appropriate" and then went to note the case was over six years old.
