SCOTUS Summer Orders

The Supreme Court issued this orders list today. Nothing exciting or unexpected. There is the usual list of rehearings denied, including Rita and Fry. In the upcoming federal sentencing cases, Kimbrough and Gall, petitioners were allowed to file part of the joint appendix under seal. Medellin gets to skip the joint appendix altogether. All the necessary materials are already available in the prior case joint appendix and the appendices to the two cert. petitions. We will put together a collection here before the oral argument.
