The State filed its motions to consolidate today and asking for an extension to file briefs. Their description  of the issues is creative if nothing else: "prohibit carrying immediately-operable firearms in public".  Lawyers should have a field day with that one!!

Apparently the California process is in play, or so some people think.

The state's extension request is denied.  They're only getting one week extension, and it appears that both Shepard and Moore will be heard in the last week of May or the First week of June.  Awesome, and super quick!


Order re: Motions to consolidate and extend time. The motions to consolidate are DENIED. Appellees do not need a formal order of consolidation in order to file one brief addressing two appeals. They may file one brief, or two, at their option. The motions for an extension of time is GRANTED, but only until May 9, 2012 (in both appeals). This should allow enough time to prepare a single brief covering the two cases. Appellees previously told the court that the two suits are functionally identical. There is accordingly no need for time beyond the 30-day extension already granted, and this one-week increment. The court’s last regular sitting of the current term is June 8, 2012. If the court were to delay the appellees’ briefs until June 1 or June 11 (the alternate dates appellees propose), that would postpone oral argument until next September, an unnecessary delay. Appellees must file their brief (or briefs) in both cases by May 9, and appellants their reply briefs by May 23. That will permit oral argument the last week of May or the first full week of June.

My old wheel-lock is seen as an assault weapon. Probably not.

Good news, thanks Gray.   I read it here first, thanks for your post.  Now it's off to the races, to see whether it is your case, or Shepard or Moore or Woolard, or the others that will get cert at scotus.   Thanks for your good work.

My biggest concern is getting a good carry case up to SCOTUS, whether it be Moore or mine.   This ain't about names, the cause matters more.

Yes. And it's judge Easterbrook... (good for us)

Stung by the result of McDonald v. City of Chicago, 130 S. Ct. 3020 (2010), the City quickly enacted an ordinance that was too clever by half. Recognizing that a complete gun ban would no longer survive Supreme Court review, the City required all gun owners to obtain training that included one hour of live‐range instruction, and then banned all live ranges within City limits. This was not so much a nod to the importance of live‐range training as it was a thumbing of the municipal nose at the Supreme Court.

Wasn't Easterbrook the judge for Wilson?  Or am I confused??

I'm not a fan.  He's the guy who wrote, in McDonald, that the state could ban self-defense.

That was written when the second amendment didn't apply to the states. The 7th circuit was basically a pass through in McDonald because they couldn't make that leap before the supreme court did.
