The court on Tuesday vacated a three-judge panel decision in the case, which involves plaintiff Mark Baird and defendant California Attorney General Rob Bonta. According to the docket number, the case originated in the Eastern District of California.
Chief Judge Mary Murguia issued a brief order stating that "upon the vote of a majority of nonrecused active judges, it is ordered that this case be reheard en banc pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 40(c) and Circuit Rule 40-3."
The order vacates the three-judge panel opinion. The full court will now rehear the case.
