9th Circuit Eying July or August Oral Argument in X’s Appeal vs. Bonta

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering X’s appeal against California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) for an upcoming oral argument calendar in San Francisco in July or August, said a text-only docket notice Friday (docket 24-271). X is seeking to reverse the district court's Dec. 28 denial of its motion for a preliminary injunction to block Bonta from enforcing AB-587, the state's social media transparency law (see 2401160031). X seeks to block AB-587's enforcement on grounds that it violates the First Amendment and that federal law preempts it.
