No Crim Opinions from SCOTUS Today

By Kent Scheidegger et al.

SCOTUSblog reports that the Supreme Court has issued four opinions today, all in civil cases. The Court also granted certiorari in two civil cases. Next opinion day is Thursday. Two habeas cases were on SCOTUSblog's "petitions to watch" list for this conference. Neither is on the orders list, meaning they will be considered again at another conference. The two are (1) McNeil v. Ferreira, No. 07-1108 on whether resentencing restarts the habeas statute of limitations clock, and (2) the continuing saga of Cone v. Bell, No. 07-1114, this time on procedural default. The Court's 2005 opinion in the same case is here.
