What’s up with another of DC’s federal appellate courts?

While all legal eyes are on DC for the start of the Supreme Court Term (which brings, inter alia, a new look for SCOTUSblog), I am wondering what’s going on these days with the DC Circuit.  Specifically, why exactly has that court not issued, according to this opinion page, a single formal opinion since August 24, 2007?

I ask in part because the DC Circuit has rendered some of the most interesting circuit sentencing opinions, and delivered the most thoughtful and nuanced work on crack sentencing in US v. Pickett, No. 05-3179 (DC Cir. Feb. 13, 2007) (available here).  I do not believe that the DC Circuit has yet to say anything at all about the Supreme Court’s work in Rita. 

Whatever the DC Circuit judges are up to these days, I hope they know at least one blogger misses their sentencing efforts.

UPDATE:  Commentors rightly noted, that because DC has plenty of appellate courts, the title of this posted meritted tweaking.  It has been so tweaked.
