Supreme Court: no new orders Wednesday; November sitting opens Monday with a First Step Act habeas case and a Title VII procedure fight
The Court's most recent order list is from Tuesday, Oct. 27, and no new orders were posted Wednesday, per supremecourt.gov. On Monday, Nov. 2, the justices hear Maxwell v. Dinis, on whether a federal inmate can use habeas corpus to challenge the Bureau of Prisons' refusal to speed his move to a halfway house or home confinement under First Step Act credits, SCOTUSblog reported. They also hear Younge v. Fulton Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office, Georgia, on whether an employer that never pleaded an affirmative defense can still win summary judgment on it, in a former employee's pregnancy-discrimination suit, SCOTUSblog said.
