Will we know if SCOTUS grants cert on Drake v. Jerejian on Friday?

[usmarine0352_2005]

So SCOTUS is debating whether to grant cert on Drake v. Jerejian this Friday.


Does that mean we'll know if they grant cert on Friday or if they are just debating whether to grant cert or not and if they do it will be announced at a later date?

AFAIK the results of Friday conferences are made public on the following Monday.

So Friday do they discuss it in closed doors or do non-SCOTUS judges make arguments?

 

[Frank Ettin]

AFAIK, the Friday conferences are SCOTUS Justices only. Any arguments have been made in the petitions, any replies and any amici briefs.

Four justices need to vote in favor to grant cert.

Perhaps with the splits in the circuits this case will be granted cert on Friday. Hopefully. We'll see. It seems to be a solid case with a good complainant.

 

[Somewhere in NM]

Very hard to predict which cases the SCOTUS will agree to hear. Only a small percentage make it.

This sheds some light on how SCOTUS works.

Will Supreme Court hear Fredon man’s gun carry case?

The U.S. Supreme Court will make a decision regarding whether to hear the case of a Fredon man’s quest to carry a handgun outside his home in the coming days. This morning, the court has scheduled a conference to make a decision whether to hear the case, titled Drake v. Jerejian.

Lawsuit namesake John Drake said the court should decide by tonight whether to hear the case, but he has been told the decision might not be made until Monday. “Sometimes a decision is not even made on Friday or Monday,” Drake’s attorney, Alan Gura, of the Alexandria, Va.-based law firm Gura & Possessky, said on Thursday. “It is possible that they don’t make a decision and re-list the case for the next conference.” The next conference day is scheduled for April 25.

According to SupremeCourtHistory.org, when the justices convene this morning, “the Chief Justice opens the discussion, summarizing each case. The senior Associate Justice speaks next, and comment passes down the line. To be accepted for review, a case needs only four votes, fewer than the majority required for a decision on the case itself.”

The PDF is up, and I don't see it on the list. I guess the "good news" is, it's not in the "CERTIORARI DENIED" list either. I guess that means we wait until another day?

Apparently so. I guess it might be picked up next session. Better than denied.

it has been re-listed for 4-25, so news on 4-28.

It could imply tons of stuff, so nothing really new in terms of speculation. On the down side, the leader of the relist pack has been relisted every conference for the last 7 months. so.....
