Today, the Supreme Court acted on pending applications in the challenges to the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act." The Court did not grant an injunction pending review. Instead, the Court construed the applications as petitions for writs of certiorari, and granted them. The Court set a blazing fast briefing schedule, with opening briefs due two days after Christmas, reply briefs to be filed two days after New Years, with oral argument one week later.
The parties are directed to file electronically simultaneous opening briefs, limited to 13,000 words, and a joint appendix on or before 5 p.m. (EST), Friday, December 27, 2024. Reply briefs, limited to 6,000 words, are to be filed electronically on or before 5 p.m. (EST), Friday, January 3, 2025. Any amicus curiae briefs are to be filed electronically on or before 5 p.m. (EST), Friday, December 27, 2024. Booklet format briefs prepared in compliance with Rule 33.1 shall be submitted as soon as possible thereafter.
The case is set for oral argument on Friday, January 10, 2025.
Happy Holidays everyone!
