The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has answered in the negative the question of whether the Nov. 19, 1794 “Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, Between His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America”—commonly referred to as the Jay Treaty—is violated by requiring that Indigenous Americans born in Canada obtain an alien registration number as a requisite to purchasing a firearm in the U.S.

The Supreme Court on Monday reinstated a murder conviction in the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz. The justices, by a 6-3 vote, granted an appeal from New York prosecutors who had urged them to undo a federal appeals court decision that overturned the verdict. The three liberal justices dissented.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked enforcement of a California law that seeks to prevent school employees from notifying parents about a student’s gender expression without their consent. The U.S. Supreme Court previously upheld a temporary block on the law after it was challenged, sending the case back to the appellate court. 

The Supreme Court turned down an opportunity to consider the role of race in policing, refusing on Monday to review whether D.C. officers recovered a federal agent’s stolen gun through an unlawful police stop. The Trump administration asked the justices to prohibit courts from considering race as a relevant factor under the Fourth Amendment’s “free to leave” test.
