Cases, hearings, and appeal status

Have you appealed a decision?

If you have, the next step is often a hearing with the Board of Firearms Permit Examiners (BPFE) , where the case is reviewed. Some appeals may require more than one hearing, depending on the circumstances.

We share information about appeals, hearings, and case status. Upcoming hearing dates, appeal updates, and details about each stage of the process are available.

Whether you are an appellant, an attorney, or a town representative, you can find information about your appeal and what happens next.

On this page, you can:

  • Check the status of an appeal
  • Find upcoming hearing dates
  • Review case updates and outcomes
  • Understand the hearing process
How to file an appeal  

Case status and listing definitions

Cases waiting for a hearing are active appeals received by the Board. Each case is assigned a tentative hearing date before an official hearing date is confirmed. Hearing dates may change as cases are resolved, withdrawn, or moved. Review the list to track your tentative hearing date.

Each case listing provides information to help you track an appeal. You’ll find fields like the case number, hearing date, and more. Understanding these details helps you identify your case, monitor updates, and check if you need to take action. Make sure to review each field when checking case information.

The case list is updated as new appeals are received and case information changes. Hearing dates and case status may change over time. Check the latest version for the most current information about your appeal.
