Ninth Circuit Sends the Hawaii Concealed Carry Challenge Back Down to District Court
The en banc panel majority (seven judges) ordered today, in Young v. Hawaii:
The Supreme Court vacated the judgment of this Court, 992 F.3d 765, and has remanded this case to us “for further consideration in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. ___ (2022),” Young v. Hawaii, 2022 WL 2347578, at *1 (U.S. 2022). We vacate the judgment of the district court and remand this case to the district court for further proceedings pursuant to the Supreme Court order.
Judge Diarmuid O’Scannlain, joined by Judges Consuelo Callahan, Sandra Ikuta, and Ryan Nelson, dissented, arguing that the Ninth Circuit should have resolved the question itself:
I respectfully dissent from our failure to resolve the straightforward legal issues presented by this case. The Supreme Court has vacated the judgment of this Court and remanded this case to us “for further consideration in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, 597 U.S. __ (2022).” But today, we decline to give further consideration to the question presented to us and we decline even to deal with it.
