More Action on Long-Pending Petitions
on Nov 13, 2005 at 1:32 pm
I previously posted on some petitions that had been pending for a long time and their likely disposition.
Two cases — 05-37/-45, San Jose Charter of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, and 05-101, Bradshaw v. Richey — are still pending and still seem headed for summary reversal.
Dissents from the denial of cert. (or eventual grants seem likely) in 05-130, eBay v. MercExchange, on patent injunctions and 04-1739, Beard v. Banks (noted by Lyle here) on prison officials’ authority to deny inmates who are considered dangerous any access to newspapers, magazines and photos.
A summary affirmance — accompanied by one or more opinions (including a dissent) — seems likely in the Texas redistricting cases.
