Today at the Court

The Court will hear oral arguments in three cases:
10 a.m. – The standard of review for wholesale electric rates is at issue in NRG Power Marketing v. Maine Public Utilities (08-674). Yesterday Akin Gump’s Scott Johnson discussed the case and the Mobile-Sierra doctrine involved.
11 a.m. – In Schwab v. Reilly (08-538), the Court will consider what valuation of property a bankrupt debtor may retain. The argument is previewed here by Stanford law school student Anthony Dick.
1 p.m. – In Hemi Group, LLC v. City of New York (08-969), the issue is whether a city government can use a civil RICO lawsuit to collect cigarette taxes. Brian Goldman, a law student at Stanford, previews the argument here.
No non-capital orders are expected from the Court today.
