More news from the Sixth Circuit and elsewhere

The Sixth Circuit has now officially selected US v. Koch for en banc consideration of Blakely issues, with briefing to be completed in a week and oral argument set for August 11, 2004. This article provides some additional background and details. And, as they do so well, How Appealing has collected additional Blakely news stories here and the Blakely Blog has a morning report and recap here.

Also, though it requires a subscription for access, here is a link to an article in yesterday’s New York Law Journal entitled “All ‘Blakely’ All the Time,” which highlights that “The Internet Is Awash in Sites Devoted to the Recent Ruling.” Many thanks to Ken Strutin, director of legal information services at the New York State Defenders Association, for effectively detailing all the Blakely resources on the web and for saying nice things about my efforts.
