SCOTUS Conference

By Kent Scheidegger et al.

The U.S. Supreme Court held a private conference today. The same-day orders list has only routine orders. The SG gets into oral argument in Indiana v. Edwards, as always. The full orders list with grants and denials of certiorari will be released Monday. Criminal cases on SCOTUSblog's petition to watch list include Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, No. 07-591, on lab reports as "testimonial" under Crawford. Iowa v. Bentley, No. 07-886, on a child's report of abuse to a hospital counselor as "testimonial" under Crawford. Waddington v. Sarausad, No. 07-772, on relitigating questions of state law in federal habeas. Oregon v. Ice, No. 07-901, on Apprendi/Blakely and consecutive sentencing.
