Consistent with 28 U.S.C. §530D, I write to advise you that the Department of Justice has decided to dismiss its pending appeal in the above-pending case, which concerns the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. §930(a), the federal statute prohibiting the possession of firearms in federal facilities. A copy of the district court’s decision is enclosed….The Department of Justice plans to dismiss its appeal by August 22, 2025.
