Today’s Argument in Bell v. Thompson

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005 8:20 am | Amy Howe | Print This Post

The second case to be argued today is No. 04-514, Bell v. Thompson, which presents the question whether the Sixth Circuit abused its discretion when it withdrew its opinion affirming the denial of habeas relief six months after Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 41(D)(2) made issuance of the mandate mandatory.

Jennifer Smith, an Associate Deputy Attorney General from Tennessee, will argue on behalf of Warden Ricky Bell. Matthew Shors of the D.C. office of O’Melveny & Myers will argue on behalf of Gregory Thompson.

You can read Liz Aloi’s excellent summary of the case, which was posted earlier on SCOTUSBlog, here.

  9. BMW 7-Series

    The 745i has a feature allowing the driver to downshift manually using a pair of buttons on the steering wheel, but I found that feature to be superfluous.
