NEW YORK STATE RIFLE & PISTOL ASSOCIATION, 
INC., ET AL., PETITIONERS v. CITY OF 
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, ET AL. 

ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF 
APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT 

[April 27, 2020] 

PER CURIAM. 
In the District Court, petitioners challenged a New York
City rule regarding the transport of firearms.  Petitioners 
claimed that the rule violated the Second Amendment.  Pe-
titioners  sought  declaratory  and  injunctive  relief  against 
enforcement of the rule insofar as the rule prevented their
transport  of  firearms  to  a  second  home  or  shooting  range 
outside of the city.  The District Court and the Court of Ap-
peals  rejected  petitioners’  claim.  See  883  F. 3d  45  (CA2 
2018).  We granted certiorari.  586 U. S. ___ (2019).  After 
we granted certiorari, the State of New York amended its 
firearm licensing statute, and the City amended the rule so 
that  petitioners  may  now  transport  firearms  to  a  second
home or shooting range outside of the city, which is the pre-
cise relief that petitioners requested in the prayer for relief 
in their complaint.  App. 48.  Petitioners’ claim for declara-
tory and injunctive relief with respect to the City’s old rule
is therefore moot.  Petitioners now argue, however, that the 
new rule may still infringe their rights.  In particular, peti-
tioners claim that they may not be allowed to stop for coffee,
