How Appealing



Monday, April 18, 2011

Access online today’s Order List of the U.S. Supreme Court: The Court has posted today’s Order List at this link.

The Court today granted review in one case and called for the views of the Solicitor General’s office in one case.

And in Kiyemba v. Obama, No. 10-775, Justice Stephen G. Breyer issued a statement respecting the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari, in which statement Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Sonia Sotomayor joined. Justice Elena Kagan did not take part in the consideration of that case.

In early news coverage, The Associated Press has reports headlined “Court turns away new appeal from Uighurs at Gitmo“; “High court takes no action on Va. health care case“; “Court won’t stop lawsuit against Chipotle“; “Court denies appeal over inmate’s long sentence“; and “Court turns down appeal in murder plot case.”

And at “SCOTUSblog,” Lyle Denniston has a post titled “Uighurs’ plea denied.”
