No SCOTUS Crim. Opinions Today

| 0 Comments
The U.S. Supreme Court issued only one opinion today, in a civil case. We are still waiting for the controversial Florida juvenile lifers cases, Graham and Sullivan. Today's case involves Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), which comes up occasionally in habeas cases, especially capital, but it involves a paragraph of that rule unlikely to come up in habeas.

SCOTUSblog reports that there will be no opinions tomorrow, so the next possible opinion day is next Monday. However, the Court will hear argument and issue an orders list that day, and it generally does not issues opinions on days with both orders and arguments. That makes next Tuesday the next likely opinion day.
