Status Quo Watch

John Elwood critiques this week’s relists.

If these months in lockdown all are starting to experience the same to you, you are not by yourself: The torpor has spread to the relist rolls as perfectly. This week, there was extremely little motion. There have been no new relists. With one particular exception, all of last week’s relists are again. Most notably, all 10 Second Modification relists are again, suggesting that the justices are still choosing among the them (or potentially composing an feeling dissenting from denial of cert, whilst I look at that much less likely).

Only one particular situation did not make it again this week: Wexford Well being v. Garrett, 19-867, involving irrespective of whether a prisoner could cure his failure to exhaust administrative treatments under the Jail Litigation Reform Act by submitting an amended criticism immediately after his launch from prison. The courtroom denied cert, but Justice Clarence Thomas was moved ample to publish an feeling dissenting from the denial, acknowledging a circuit split and arguing that the situation “deserves our overview.”

Which is all for this week. Tune in Tuesday to see irrespective of whether the courtroom will be looking at one particular or much more probably blockbuster firearm conditions future slide. Until eventually then, remain secure!
