1Opinion of the Court
TERNUS, Chief Justice.
By petition for writ of certiorari, the plaintiff, Jackie Weissenburger, challenges the legality of an order entered by the defendant, Iowa District Court, amending a no-contact order to allow her former spouse, Joseph Weissenburger, “to possess firearms for hunting.” Jackie claims the amended order violates 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8) (2000), which prohibits certain individuals subject to a no-contaet order from possessing firearms while the order is in effect. We agree that the amended order violates federal law. Therefore, we sustain the writ.
