The Supreme Court's orders list is here. Conspicuously absent are Skinner v. Switzer, No. 09-9000, noted here, and Jefferson v. Upton, No. 09-8852, noted here. Evidently they are relisted for their fifth and eighth considerations, respectively.

The lone case granted, on the State of Rhode Island's petition, is Wall v. Kholi, No. 09-868. The Question Presented, as framed by the RI AG, is:

Does a state court sentence-reduction motion consisting of a plea for leniency constitute an "application for State post-conviction or other collateral review," 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2), thus tolling the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act's one-year limitations period for a state prisoner to file a federal habeas corpus petition, an issue as to which there is a 3-2 circuit split?
