Programming note: On Tuesday morning, I will be arguing an appeal before a three-judge panel of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

The most newsworthy case scheduled for oral argument tomorrow before that same three-judge panel will be this case, which has been specially scheduled for argument starting at 3:30 p.m. and is expected to draw a large crowd of onlookers and media.

Additional posts will appear here on Tuesday afternoon.

Access today’s ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in United States v. Butt: At this link. Not only did the Court refrain from referring to either of the two Butt parties by their last name, but the Court also avoided any Butt-related humor — made easier no doubt by the fact that Circuit Judge Don R. Willett wasn’t even on the three-judge panel that decided this case.
