Supreme Court grants our Cert. Petition in Spears!
Though the big events in the Supreme Court today relate to the arguments on lethal injection in the Baze case, Dustin Benham wrote me this morning with the exciting news that the Supreme Court granted our petition for certiorari and vacated the Eighth Circuit's opinion in Spears. This throws the matter back to the Eighth Circuit for further wrangling. Despite the fact that I look like "Jim" from the old tv show "Taxi" this morning, I do still have some important work ahead of me.
Here is the docket entry from the Supreme Court this morning:
06-9864 SPEARS, STEVEN V. UNITED STATES The motions of petitioners for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petitions for writs of certiorari are granted. The judgments are vacated and the cases are remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of Kimbrough v. United States, 552 U.S. ___ (2007).
