Frequently Asked Questions

What was the Ninth Circuit's decision regarding California's assault weapon ban?

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted California's request for an emergency administrative stay in the Miller v. Bonta case. This temporarily blocks the district court's injunction that had struck down the state's ban on "so-called assault weapons."

Who dissented in the Ninth Circuit's stay decision for the Miller v. Bonta case?

Judge Consuelo Callahan dissented from the majority order granting the stay. She stated that she would deny the motion for a stay, as she did not believe the appellants had met their burden of showing a likelihood of success on the merits or that they would suffer irreparable injury.

What is the significance of the administrative stay granted in the Miller v. Bonta case?

The administrative stay allows California's assault weapon ban to remain in effect while the appeal is heard. It does not represent a final ruling on the constitutionality of the ban but prevents immediate enforcement of the district court's injunction.

What are the deadlines for the expedited appeal in Miller v. Bonta?

The Ninth Circuit has expedited the appeal with strict deadlines: the opening brief is due November 9, 2023; the answering brief is due November 22, 2023; and the optional reply brief is due November 29, 2023. No extensions will be approved.
