Two New Filings

Yesterday, several members of the New York office of Akin Gump, led by Andrew Rossman, along with Carter Philips of Sidley Austin, filed this cert. petition in New York State Board of Elections v. Lopez Torres.

In an unrelated case, Tom Goldstein is counsel of record on this newly-filed Reply Brief in the case of Gilmore v. Gonzales (No. 06-211; petition here, brief in opposition here). On the brief with him are Thomas Burke and Rochelle Wilcox of Davis Wright Tremaine, and James P. Harrison, an attorney in Sacramento. The case will be considered at the Justices’ January 5 Conference.
