| Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25-356 | N.Y. App. Div. | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | OT 2025 |
Issue: (1) Whether New York’s Penal Law § 265.03(3), § 265.02(1) and § 265.01-b(1), which prohibit the ownership of a firearm in the home or for purposes of self-defense by a person convicted of any crime is facially unconstitutional in derogation of the Second Amendment and contravenes this Court’s decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen ; and (2) whether the application of New York’s Penal Law § 265.03(3), § 265.02(1) and § 265.01-b(1) to Steven Mancuso prohibiting him from possessing a firearm in his home violates the Second Amendment and contravenes this Court’s decision in Bruen due to his conviction for a violation of the federal Clean Air Act, which is a non-violent felony under United States law.
