Update to emergency application made to the Supreme Court for Antonyuk v. Nigrelli (NY CCIA in defiance to Bruen ruling) - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...nysrpa-v-bruen-decision.913941/#post-12511353

Looks like justice Sotomayor referred the emergency application to the full court for review and the Supreme Court decided to not intervene in the 2nd Circuit appeals process.NY argues the 2nd Circuit should be given the opportunity to review the case and Supreme Court taking up the case is premature and interlocutory (Determining a matter during the course of a case and not part of a final decision)

- Supreme Court allowed NY to enforce Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA)
- The justices rejected emergency request by plaintiffs including Gun Owners of America to throw out 2nd Circuit's stay (suspension of action) against district court's decision that blocked enforcement of CCIA
- Justices Alito and Thomas described court's action as procedural "rather than expressing any view on the merits of the case."
- Justices Alito and Thomas noted that other challenges to the state's law are currently on a fast-track in the 2nd Circuit and invited plaintiffs to return to the Supreme Court if that appeals court does not expedite the proceedings in their case as well.
- GOA called Alito's statement "reassuring ... We look forward to continuing the fight against New York's draconian law."
- The plaintiffs challenged CCIA as a violation of the Second Amendment and district court judge Suddaby blocked enforcement of much of it, citing "unprecedented constitutional violations" that NY could not compel people applying for a gun license to prove their "good moral character."
- Judge Suddaby also decided NY could not ban guns in theaters, bars and restaurants, parks, airports and other public places, though bans could remain in place in schools, courthouses and polling stations; and also blocked enforcement of a provision making it a felony to carry firearms on private property without the property owner's express consent.
- The 2nd Circuit issued a stay freezing judge Suddaby's order while NY pursued its appeal
