SUPREME COURT GRANTS TIME EXTENSION TO APRIL 30

On March 27, the U.S. Supreme Court granted TEC/TECSC's request for an extension of time to submit their response to DSC's February 9 petition for cert. The deadline had been set for March 29, but on March 23, the TEC lawyers asked for a month extension, to April 30, 2018.

On March 27, SCOTUS responded:  "Motion to extend the time to file a response is granted and the time is extended to and including April 30, 2018 for all respondents."

SCOTUS usually ends its annual session by early July and begins the next on the first Monday in October. It is reasonable to assume the justices will take up DSC's petition and TEC/TECSC's response, plus any amici briefs, in the months of May and June. They will decide whether to grant or deny cert. If they deny, the matter before SCOTUS ends and the SC supreme court decision stands as the law. If they grant the petition, I would assume it will be put on the docket for the court session of 2018-19.
