DD at the Supreme Court
April 23, 2024
Yesterday the Supreme Court granted certiorari in VanDerStok, the so-called “frame and receiver” case where Defense Distributed and Polymer80 are major intervenor plaintiffs. The case’s docket page can be found here.
The Court has posted the case’s “Questions Presented” document, which you can download below. In short, these questions are:
July 8 is the presumptive deadline for our brief on the merits, assuming ATF files on June 6.
July 15 is the deadline for amicus briefs supporting SAF and DD’s side, again assuming that ATF files on June 6.
Amicus Briefs
If you’d like to file an amicus brief, contact SAF, FPC, or DD at [email protected].
Oral Argument
We expect oral argument to be between October 7 and 16. Let me know if you’d like to attend.
Thank you for your support resisting the receiver rule since 2021. Defense Distributed and LEGIO were instrumental in narrowing the first version of the rule, preserving the errors of the second, and successfully challenging the rule in the Western District of Texas and the Fifth Circuit. Only one more stop to go.
If you would like to support these legal actions, please join LEGIO.
