No new SCOTUS cert grants, nor action on Angelos
As detailed here and here at SCOTUSblog, the Supreme Court is back in action this morning, but its latest order list (available here) does not include any cert grants. Notably, though the order list includes lots of cert denieds, I do not see any reference to the case of Weldon Angelos.
Angelos is the first offender who was begrudgingly sentenced to 55 years’ imprisonment by Judge Paul Cassell for marijuana sales under federal mandatory minimums, and here I noted that SCOTUSblog had the Angelos case is on their “petitions to watch” for the Justices’ Conference last Tuesday. I guess this means the Angelos case will be re-listed, perhaps a sign that a cert grant might still be in the cards.
