So does this mean temporarily the suspension is "off" again? I think Florio said it was an automatic stay when you were seeking the en banc review.
Anyone who has read the brief can give some info on how it is ?
Technically, this is only a request for an extension of time. Brady has until next Friday 5/6 to request the en banc review. They're requesting an extension until 5/23 to make that decision.
thanks. But will the new guy they added, will that team file a brief of some sort ?Again, it's only a request for an extension of time. Basically they're saying because it has wide-reaching implications, they 1) need time to analyze the full implications, and 2) they would like time to consult with all of the player reps.
Allow him to review any new relevant information?I would guess they are trying to buy time for Olsen to review everything and build a case for review. I think they will grant eh banc review given the impact the ruling could have on so many players.
I didn't realize he meant the Judges on the appeal. I thought he was talking about something else.
This is gonna be good. Supreme Court here we come...
I wish this move had been made before the appeal rather than now, but better late than never.
Question for people who are well-versed in this stuff: even if the SC decides to hear this case, what are the odds that the result is anything other than a 4-4 split along purely ideological lines? Seems like it would be a shock for any of Roberts/Alito/Thomas/Kennedy to depart from the anti-labor party line and rule and decide in Brady's favor. Seems like en banc is still the best shot at success, however unlikely it may be.
This assumes, of course, that Clinton wins the presidency and a Republican-dominated senate continues to stonewall any attempt at a SC appointment.
thanks. But will the new guy they added, will that team file a brief of some sort ?
This brief isn't the appeal, it is a request for a 2 week extension to file the appeal, which is currently due Friday, May 6.Anyone who has read the brief can give some info on how it is ?
But it still a long shot to get an en banc hearing at the 2nd circuit. Theodore olson should have been brought in earlier. They have to convince 6 other judges for an en banc hearing in a circuit that does not like to touch arbitration results. Just because olson is on board does not mean the court will grant one.
