USCA9 Denies Rehearing in "Fast Track" Case

| 0 Comments
Last March, as noted here, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the clearly erroneous ruling by Judge Claudia Wilken enjoining the implementation of the regulations for the federal habeas corpus "fast track."  See the earlier post for details.

Today the Ninth finally denied the petition for rehearing en banc (i.e., to have the case reconsidered by an 11-judge panel). 

The other side can ask the U.S. Supreme Court to take the case, but it is unlikely they will.
