Whether courts have Article III jurisdiction to issue a reasoned judicial opinion after a case becomes moot

Petitioners raised as-applied Second Amendment challenges to firearms-related conditions of pretrial release. After their cases mooted, but before this Court issued a decision in United States v. Rahimi, 602 U.S. 680 (2024), the Ninth Circuit published an opinion rejecting that challenge. Since Rahimi, this Court has granted at least 19 certiorari petitions raising diverse Second Amendment issues, vacated the opinions below, and remanded. The questions presented are: (1) Whether this Court should grant this petition, vacate the Second Amendment opinion below, and remand with instructions to dismiss the case as moot. (2) Whether courts have Article III jurisdiction to issue a reasoned judicial opinion after a case becomes moot, so long as they announce the case’s disposition before the case moots. prefix PARTIES,
