WHAT: NCLA will present oral arguments via teleconference before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in the case of Aposhian v Barr. NCLA is challenging ATF’s Final Rule that went into effect on March 26, 2019 banning bump stock devices, on behalf of Clark Aposhian of Salt Lake City, Utah. After a panel of the Tenth Circuit upheld the Final Rule in a split decision, the en banc Court vacated that decision and ordered the parties to answer important questions about the application of Chevron deference. At issue, in this case, is whether a court can apply Chevron deference even when an administrative agency declines to invoke it. For more information visit the case page here.
