Right after the Bruen Decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, the New York Legislature held an "Extraordinary" midnight session and passed a law with a gaggle of restrictions explicitly designed to "fight back" against the U.S. Supreme Court. Several pro-2A groups filed lawsuits in U.S. District Court to enjoin New York from enforcing the new laws and by and large the District Court judges who ruled on these laws found them to be blatantly in violation of the U.S. Constitution. One of the cases is known as Antonyuk II, where the District Court Judge wrote a 187 Opinion in which he sliced and diced the New York law.
As expected, New York appealed to the Second Circuit. Without any written analysis, the Second Circuit immediately reinstated the New York law. On December 21, 2022 the pro-2A Plaintiffs filed an Emergency Application to the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate the District Court's Decision. This Application went to Justice Sonya Sotomayor.

Justice Sotomayor is not known for being sympathetic to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. However, on December 27, 2022 Justice Sotomayor requested the State of New York to respond to the Application on January 3, 2022. This means that the Application caught Justice Sotomayor's eye and is a good omen. Maybe.
