In a recent development, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected Hunter Biden's attempt to have his gun case in Delaware dismissed. The three-judge panel ruled that the lower court's decision to reject his motions for dismissal cannot be appealed at this time, based on procedural grounds.

The court order stated, "This appeal is dismissed because the defendant has not shown the District Court's orders are appealable before final judgment." While this setback does not consider the merits of the appeal, lawyers representing Hunter Biden have the option to seek review from the full bench of the 3rd Circuit or petition the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the case.

Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, expressed the belief that the issues involved in the case are of significant importance. Therefore, they intend to pursue further review of their request. The trial date for the federal gun case against President Biden's son has been confirmed for June 3, as per the scheduling order issued by Judge Maryellen Noreika, who is overseeing the case.

In addition to the trial date, the order outlined the remaining pre-trial deadlines. A status conference has been scheduled for Friday at 4:30 p.m. to discuss the disclosure of anticipated expert witnesses, as required by a previous deadline. Furthermore, a pre-trial conference has been set for May 24 at 2 p.m., which mandates Hunter Biden's attendance.

It is worth noting that Noreika previously denied all five of Hunter Biden's motions seeking to dismiss the case. The charges against him, filed in September, include owning a gun while using narcotics and falsely submitting a form affirming he was not using illegal drugs during the purchase of a revolver in 2018.

Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to the gun charges in October. Interestingly, the scheduled June trial for the gun case coincides with the federal tax case against him, which is set to go on trial in California. He pleaded not guilty to the tax charges in January.

As the legal proceedings move forward, the outcome of both cases will be closely observed.
