Briefs in Monday’s CVSGs

On Monday, the Supreme Court called for the views of the Solicitor General in four matters: 05-1323, UGI Utilities v. Consolidated Edison of New York (regarding the recovery of cleanup costs under CERCLA); 05-1448, Beck v. Pace International Union (whether a pension plan sponsor’s decision to terminate a plan by purchasing an annuity is a plan sponsor decision not subject to ERISA’s fiduciary obligations); 05-1645/06-11, Wallace v. Calogero/Leclerc v. Webb (whether foreign nationals who have been admitted to the U.S. temporarily may obtain licenses to practice law while here); and 06-134, Permanent Mission of India v. New York (whether New York City may assess taxes on foreign embassy property used as residences for diplomats).

In our continuing effort to make available briefs in significant cases (see our “Term Tracker” category for other relevant posts), we have collected the cert. petitions, briefs in opposition, and replies in these cases for you to download (available after the jump).
