   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  22-2812
                          and No:  22-2854
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Eastern   
[PUBLISHED] Melloy, Author, with Colloton and Gruender, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Gun Control Act of 1968. Plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives from implementing a Final Rule "Definition of 'Frame or Receiver' and Identification of Firarms," 87 Fed. Reg. 24,652 (April 26, 2022) (codified at 27 C.F.R. pts 447, 478, and 479). The district court did not err in denying the request for a preliminary injunction as plaintiffs failed to show they will suffer irreparable harm absent the entry of a preliminary injunction; plaintiffs failed to show how the Final Rule will prevent them from engaging in constitutionally protected conduct and failed to show that they would suffer actual economic harm.
