Watch again

The “Relisting Surveillance” column will review the petition that the Supreme Court has “relisted” for its upcoming meeting.A short description about the relisting Here.

The Supreme Court has two weeks between considering which cases to review, which is not surprising, which means that the justices have a lot of petitions at the Thursday meeting: according to my estimate, there are 249. They will consider three of these petitions for the second time because the court relisted them after discussing them at the April 30 meeting. They involve three issues that the court has repeatedly considered in recent years: arbitration, habeas corpus and excessive police force.Now, please forgive me, because I have to abbreviate a bit this week because press of business.

Badgerow v. Walters, 20-1143It involves a very specific arbitration law issue.in Wadden v. Discover the bankThe Supreme Court ruled that when reviewing a petition for compulsory arbitration under Article 4 of the Federal Arbitration Act, the Federal Court may “review” the petition to determine whether the parties Potential dispute There was a jurisdiction over federal issues. Badgerow It involves a question of whether the same “perspective” analysis applies to motions to confirm or revoke an arbitration award according to Articles 9 and 10 of the Federal Arbitration Act. Petitioner Denise Badgerow (Denise Badgerow) Think the circuit is separate Four to two on this issue. Interviewee Greg Walters (Greg Walters) counter It goes without saying that the case involved federal issues, and another case was involved before the same presiding judge was confirmed, which made the case a bad tactic because the legal rules in question are unlikely to affect the outcome. Next Monday, we will have a better idea whether the court agrees.

The Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act provides strict regulations on the ability of federal courts to grant relief to state prisoners seeking relief. Among other things, AEDPA prohibits federal courts from reviewing habeas corpus convictions. If the prisoner or his attorney fails to diligently develop the factual basis of the claim in the state court, the federal court shall not consider evidence other than recorded in the state court. Except for the applicable exceptions.in Shinn v Ramirez, 20-1009The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit concluded that when the court defended a breach of the claim procedure because the breach was caused by the negligence of the convicting lawyer, the AEDPA evidence development standard does not apply to the federal court’s review of the claim. . The decision of the Ninth Circuit provided relief to death row inmates David Martinez and Barry Jones. When the Ninth Circuit refused to reopen the case, Eight judges dissenting, Stating that the expert group’s decision “ignored[s] Control the Supreme Court’s precedent by establishing new judge exceptions through restrictions imposed on judges [AEDPA] The use of new evidence in habeas corpus litigation. The state of Arizona is now seeking review by the Supreme Court. Martinez and Jones argued that the case was Poor vehicle.Because the Supreme Court in recent months to sum up Overturned In the habeas corpus case (including another case in the Ninth Circuit) two appeals court rulings, this petition undoubtedly attracted the attention of the court.

That brings us to Lombardo v. St. Louis, Missouri, 20-391. The case involved an allegation of excessive police force made by Nicholas Gilbert’s parents, who died in police custody. Jody Lombardo and Bryan Gilbert argued that a reasonable jury might find that when an officer kneeling on Nicholas Gilbert put him in handcuffs and handcuffs, Put him face down on the ground and press on his back, until the force is too strong. He was suffocated. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that because Gilbert’s actions can be legally interpreted as “resistance”, the officers’ actions were not excessive force. This case has been lingering on the file for several months. It was originally scheduled to be deliberated at each court meeting from early December to late April, and it was rescheduled 13 times at the last minute, so the case was not really considered until the April 30 meeting.Although it is difficult to predict what will happen, as experience, repeat rearrange Yes often A kind prelude The judges put forward different opinions and opposed the court’s refusal to review. We will see the insights from Monday’s order list.

That’s all for this week. Stay safe!
