Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
13-9085 9th Cir. Not Argued Jul 1, 2014 TBD TBD OT 2013

Issue: (1) Whether, in denying rehearing after deciding Johnson v. Williams, this Court meant to bar a deferential review on remand, or whether denial of rehearing simply reflected that disputes regarding the scope of this Court’s mandate were to be resolved on remand; and (2) whether the previous denial of certiorari as to the question of whether Ms. Williams could prevail under deferential review, or the subsequent denial of rehearing, constituted “certiorari granted” under 28 U.S.C. § 1254, where the Court’s opinion contained no discussion of a question outside a limited grant of certiorari.

Judgment: Vacated and remanded on July 1, 2014.
