Relist Watch

John Elwood (barely) reviews Monday’s relisted cases.

Today’s post answers the question of what Relist Watch would look like if you were able to remove the strained attempts at humor (as some readers have requested — kick629, this one’s for you). I’m tied up preparing for a court of appeals argument, and so find myself sadly lacking time to scour the interwebs for the week’s most compelling images of human endeavor to bring to a readership that thirsts for knowledge. In any event, today’s post confirms what regular readers have long suspected: Relist Watch is not funny anymore.

Was relisted; cert. denied

[page]15-849[/page] (cert. denied being relisted after the Apr. 1 Conference)

[page]15-7451[/page] (cert. denied being relisted after the Mar. 18 Conference and rescheduled after the Apr. 1 Conference)

Was relisted; relisted again

[page]15-631[/page] (relisted after the Apr. 1 and Apr. 15 Conferences)

[page]15-833[/page] (relisted after the Apr. 1 and Apr. 15 Conferences)

We thought it was a relist because the dockets hadn’t been updated; it’s actually something else

[page]15-118[/page] (held, not relisted after the Apr. 1 Conference)

[page]15-683[/page] (held, not relisted after the Apr. 1 Conference)

New relists
