Whether the Second Circuit erred in dismissing this case as moot where New York City's actions were designed to evade appellate review

QUESTIONS PRESENTED In New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. City of New York, New York, 140 S. Ct. 1525 (2020), this Court held that New York City’s postcertiorari amendment to the challenged handgun regulations mooted the petitioners’ claims. Emboldened, the City continues to orchestrate the manipulation of judicial review of unconstitutional firearm regulations, in violation of the Second Amendment. The City’s repeated and wrongful conduct, and the Second Circuit’s disregard of it, give rise to this petition, which cries out for an exercise of this Court’s supervisory power. The questions presented are: Whether, based on this Court’s jurisprudence as articulated in City of Mesquite and Honig, the Second Circuit erred in dismissing this case as moot where New York City’s calculated and repetitive actions were designed to evade appellate review. Whether New York City’s post-filing unsolicited issuance of a firearm license moots the live controversy where the licensee remains subject to the challenged regulations.
