This one looks interesting.

15-6134 MALDONADO, ANTONIO V. UNITED STATES

The motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis and the petition for a writ of certiorari are granted.
The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit for further
consideration in light of Johnson v. United States, 576 U. S.
___ (2015).

Neither is on the list. That is good news.

Stuff just got real. :tinfoil:

ETA: there is a conference next Tuesday, but orders won't be released until the following Monday, 30 November.

ETA2: already distributed for Tuesday's conference, clerks are on the ball today.

Is this Caetano's first relist? Or second?

Kharn · Nov 16, 2015

First

Friedman is getting denied. There is no reaso to take that when Jackson was denied.
This case though is special compared to the last cases. Circuit split and sympathic planintiff.

Caetano getting visibility on TTAG

Or held for Caetano and remanded.

And the odds for a cert grant upon that relist dramatically increased from near zero to near 50%.

I"ve got a taser case up at the Ninth. If the Court takes this that's guranteed 1988 fees for me. Well assuming we win but I don't think the court would take another 2a case unless it planned on ruling in favor of the 2a.

this case is a relatively easy case for the Court. Just a Taser, not a gun, possessed by an otherwise law abiding person for good reasons. Only question is whether a Taser is covered by the 2d Amendment, in the abstract -- a question on which there is a split in the highest courts of two states. The beauty of that is that the reasoning and approach in a Taser case could carry over to an AWB case. Which would mean a hold for Friedman and, if petitioner wins, a GVR in Friedman. That is the best possible case right now.

I agree and also would point out something very similar happening with 2 abortion cases, one from TX and one from MS. The MS case has been relisted 8 times now, and hasn't been given a new conference date. The TX case got cert on Friday after 1 re-list.
Seems clearly the MS case was being held until the TX case went to conference.
I think that's what's happening here (fingers crossed).

Esq,
If cert were granted, do you think the court would touch homelessness or carry outside the home given MA's attempt to draw it into the case?

MA is making an issue of outside the home so yes they will likely deal with the argument if MA continues to press it

Sympathetic plaintiff for Ginsburg, Kagan, and Sotomayer...

I think these Justices may have some 'splaining to do to the current demographic most in the news lately- War-on-Women, SJWs, RapeonCampus, et al.
should they not give extra weight to the argument for this sympathetic plaintiff:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...nt/uploads/sites/14/2015/08/caetanoamicus.pdf

Of course- thats politics and we know the ReliablePartyOrgans will throw this this woman, a domestic violence victim, under the bus in favor of the Narrative.

Really want to hear what the Wise Latina has to say on this one...

They had a chance to overturn Slaughterhouse and resurrect the P or I Clause of the 14A, something many liberals have been wishing for. Instead, they declined because it meant having to give in to 2A expansion.
They'll throw women, minorities, gays, whoever under the bus to bury the 2A.
