Jonathan Birdt v. Charlie Beck

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Jonathan Birdt v. Charlie Beck, 670 F. App'x 607 (9th Cir. 2016)

Jonathan Birdt v. Charlie Beck

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Jonathan Birdt appeals from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action alleging violations of his Second Amendment rights. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Peruta v. County of San Diego, 824 F.3d 919, 925 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc), and we affirm.

In Peruta v. San Diego, this court, sitting en banc, held that a member of the general public does not have a right under the Second Amendment to carry a concealed firearm in public, and that a state may impose restrictions, including a showing of good cause, on concealed carry. Id. at 939. The San Diego and Yolo County Sheriffs Department policies interpreting the California statutory good cause requirement at issue in Peruta therefore survived a Second Amendment challenge. See id. For the same reasons, the Los Angeles Police Department’s and the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department’s policies interpreting the California statutory good cause requirement do not violate the Second Amendment.

The motions by amici curiae for leave to file amici briefs are granted. The Clerk shall file the amici briefs submitted on October 30, 2012 and November 5, 2012. Appellant’s motion to submit the case without oral argument, filed on October 30, 2012, is granted.

AFFIRMED.
