But somewhere I read the application was to Ch J Roberts, which sounds right...it's for temporary or provisional or pending or whatever you want to call relief that doesn't culminate in a judgment asked for in the pleadings. So it would go to the Circuit Justice, at least initially, yes? I'm quite curious about whether Roberts would have the guts to handle it w/o referring the application to the whole court.
