The Relist Watch column examines the Supreme Court’s petition to “relist” the certificate for the upcoming meeting.Provides a short description of relists here.

The Supreme Court continues to quickly turn around in the relisted cases, Grant review In four such cases on Friday.

The court has four petitions in criminal cases, asking whether doctors convicted of illegal dispensing of drugs should be allowed to let the jury consider whether they subjectively consider these prescriptions to be medically appropriate.As I kind of predicted last week When the last of the four petitions was relisted, the court finally approved the review of two of them to be debated together: Nguyen v. U.S., 20-1410, with Kahn v. United States, 21-5261(Two other cases that the court is considering will now await the outcome Ruan with Kahn Then deal with it as appropriate. )

I’m also right Egbert v. Bull, 21-147, Is “complete certificate bait”.Whether this case involves Bivens v. Six Unidentified Agents of the Federal Narcotics Administration It can be used to claim that the Border Patrol violated the innkeeper’s Fourth Amendment rights because he treated him roughly during the search and retaliated against his complaint by encouraging the IRS to investigate him.Even more surprisingly, the court approved Marietta Memorial Hospital Employee Health Benefit Plan v. DaVita, Inc., 20-1641, Claiming that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th and 9th Circuits had disagreements on how to apply the anti-discrimination provisions of the Medicare Auxiliary Payer Act. All the others from last week are back for this Friday’s court meeting.

We have a new relisting case this week: Morgan v. Sundance, 21-328. in 2011 AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, The Supreme Court held Federal Arbitration Law The court is required to “put the arbitration agreement on the same status as other contracts.”exist Concepcion, Claiming that California law treats arbitration contracts lower than other contracts.By contrast MorganThe plaintiff/petitioner claimed that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit gave the arbitration clause an excessively partial treatment, making it more difficult to prove that the defendant waived the arbitration clause than it was to prove that it waived other clauses.Despite a reminiscent name Heartthrob in the late 1960s with Impossible exclusive festival tickets, Operated by the respondent Sundance, Inc. Taco Bell Franchise. Robin Morgan worked at the Taco Bell franchise under Sundance and filed a presumptive class action in federal court under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Sundance filed a dismissal of the lawsuit and later responded to her complaint and put forward various arguments, but did not insist on arbitration. After mediation failed to reach a settlement, Sundance took action to force a separate arbitration of Morgan’s claim. The district court ruled that the Sundance Film Festival had waived its arbitration rights because it had not filed for arbitration in advance. However, on appeal, the 8th Circuit overturned the judgment on the grounds that it “did not show prejudice against Morgan.” In her petition, Morgan argued that the lower courts are divided on whether prejudice is a necessary condition to prove that one party has waived the argument, and in any case, prejudice is not a necessary factor for waiving other contract terms.

This is all the new relists. But I have an update on the relist last week, Volkswagen Group v. Hillsboro County Environmental Protection Commission, 20-994The case concerns whether the “Clean Air Act” takes precedence over state and local government supervision of automakers’ nationwide after-sales updates to vehicle emission systems. This Friday, the court will consider for the first time another petition from the public that raises the same issue. Volkswagen AG v. Volkswagen, Ohio, former rel.Jost, 21-312. (“Aktiengesellschaft” is German word”Eat sorrow Your enemy.”) As the authorization in the case involving prescribing doctors showed last Friday, the court sometimes waits for all the cases that raise questions to arrive at the meeting before taking action. Therefore, we may soon take action in some way .

That’s all for this week. We will come again next week. Stay safe!
