Should movants’ anticipated petition for writ of certiorari be granted, the stay of this Court’s mandate shall remain in place pending the Supreme Court’s final disposition on the merits."

New Jersey's cert petition is due on October 15 (but could be pushed back to December). If New Jersey requests that two-month extension in filing its cert petition, Viramontes/Grant will have been fully briefed and will be awaiting oral arguments by the time the cert petition is filed in ANJRPC/Cheeseman. It's hard to be told "patience" when Garden State gun owners have already waited so long to claw back some of their Second Amendment rights, but that's the unfortunate reality they're stuck with.
