9th Circuit en banc hearing has been pushed back to the week of March 23, due to the SCOTUS Wolford hearing in January.

does that mean they expect a ruling by then?

It's the court appearance which had to change since Attorney Becks SCOTUS hearing is at the same time.  Ruling should come out at the end of 2026

I have a confirmed en banc hearing date for my case, March 24th 1pm in Pasadena, CA.  Come join us if you're in the area.  Be there Monday to Thursday.

I got the list for the 11 judge en banc panel and I have a decent chance of being able to win the appeal, which would be the first 2A win for the 9th Circuit en banc court.  It's been a tiring seven year case, would be nice to end this with a win and close out my tenure with HIFICO.  This was my first case when I started up HIFICO.  Hearing is next week Tuesday.

Thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, for your fellow citizens.

It has always been, and will always be, the individual who ultimately makes a difference in this world, and you exemplify that universal and all important principle.

Many thanks.

6 DNC judges
5 GOP

But 1 DNC judge did make a pro2a ruling before.

The Rhodes appeal will be the day after mine, concerning California's background checks for buying ammo.  It has 8 republican appointed judges, 3 dem.  That is an amazing roll of the dice and expected to be a win.  Since my appeal is simpler, I should get a quick decision with the possibility of the first 2a en banc 9th win. 

Or if I lose, it'll at least keep the Rhodes precedent in place

Yukutake & Kikukawa v Lopez, 9th Circuit En Banc Hearing - Pasadena, CA.
Tuesday March 24 at 1130am HST

Tomorrow is the hearing, before the 11 judge panel, for my lawsuit regarding the requirement for inspections on non-Hawaii FFL acquired firearms at police stations and the 30 day expiration dates on handgun permit to acquire.  This case has been going on for seven years.  This lawsuit has already produced results saving myself and the people of Hawaii time and money:
1.  Extended Wednesday firearms hours at HPD
2.  Emailed permit to acquire
3.  Remote registration for Hawaii FFL acquired firearms
4.  30 day (instead of 10 day) handgun permit to acquire expirations.

Please give a shout out to my Attorney Alan Beck who will represent us at the hearing tomorrow.  You can watch live on YouTube at the link.
