Jevic CVSG Recommends Granting Cert

posted by John Pottow

The brief is not up on the SG's webpage yet, but they are recommending granting the petition and reversing the Third Circuit.  Hat tip to Professor Lipson or Attorneys Goldblatt et al.?  I think this now places granting odds at "moderately decent."

(Those less in the weeds: CVSG is Calls for Views of the Solicitor General.  When the Supreme Court's thinking of granting cert, it sometimes asks the Solicitor General for its views before making the decision.  The SG's brief filed this week says, "Yes, important, grant cert."  Of course, it's not dispositive, but as my old Latin Master used to say, it's better than a slap in the face with a wet haddock.  (Shout out to TPO'DB.))

Unsurprising given that the U.S. Trustee, as I recall, was either an appellant or an amicus in support of appellant(s) in the Third Circuit.
