John Rodrigues, Jr. v. County of Hawaii, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 20-15097 · judgment September 14, 2021

Certiorari denied · April 4, 2022
Pre-decision estimate: 4% cert probability

Before the decision, roughly the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and down for a state or local-government respondent.

Question presented

Does LEOSA (18 U.S.C. Sec. 966C) preempt State firearms laws that prohibit the transport, carrying and possession of firearms by a Qualified Retired Law Enforcement Officer (“QRLEO”)?
