Sentencing News! Sentencing News!

As seemed inevitable, the Supreme Court this morning dismissed the Claiborne case due to the death of the petitioner, despite the fact that it was very close to completing opinions in the matter. Wise sentencing elders are predicting that the Court may go ahead and issue an opinion in the companion case to Claiborne and leave the issues unique to Claiborne for another day.

In the meantime, they gave no word on the fate of Spears v. United States, which is the case I have up on consideration for certiorari.

[You know, there was a time in my life where I never used the word "certiorari"...]

I remember a time in your life when you tried to use the word "enigma" with humorous consequences.
