I'm 2,000 words into a story involving hundreds of pages, in dozens of documents, over multiple years.

It's an important story — worth the time and money I'm putting into it. But I can only do this b/c of you.

SCOTUS again takes no action on the Kentucky and Tennessee bans on gender-affirming medical care for minors. They will be relisted for a later conference. As noted at Law Dork last night: https://www.lawdork.com/p/enter-june-the-scotus-rush-approaches

Here’s Delligatti v. US, the case the court did grant today: https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docketfiles/html/public/23-825.html

SCOTUS also vacates and remands in a challenge to Arkansas’s congressional map in light of Alexander v. SC State Conference of the NAACP. (I’m not sure this changes the outcome; I think it primarily just forces the text in Alexander to be used.) Docket: https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docketfiles/html/public/23-138.html

We knew this is almost surely what Alito would do. This is why I wrote this last week: https://www.lawdork.com/p/sam-alito-is-a-problem

SCOTUS grants one new case, San Francisco v. EPA (No. 23-753), this morning. https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/052824zor_i425.pdf

The Supreme Court turns down Michael Avenatti's appeal of his conviction. He asked the court to consider two questions: https://www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docketfiles/html/public/23-6753.html

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Petitioner, an attorney representing a plaintiff with potential contract and tort claims, was convicted of honest services fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343 and 1346, and extortion offenses, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 875(d) and 1951, based on demands that he made during settlement negotiations with a defendant. The questions presented are: 1. Is § 1346 void for vagueness? 2. Can civil litigation conduct―in particular, an attorney’s settlement demand―support federal criminal extortion liability?

No word today on the cases challenging TN & KY's bans on gender-affirming medical care for minors, meaning they will be rescheduled for another conference.

The final decision, also by Alito, is in Brown v. US. The 6-3 decision in an Armed Career Criminal Act application case features a Jackson dissent, joined by Kagan and, in part, Gorsuch. Sotomayor joined the majority. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-6389_6537.pdf
