But quite convenient timing.

It's the date on which they will decide whether to grant or deny a very large number of pending petitions for cert that weren't acted on before the end of the prior term. If the past is any guide -- and it probably is -- they will grant a relative handful of cert petitions, including some filed "in forma pauperis" -- and will deny hundreds upon hundreds of other petitions and also issue orders granting or denying various other motions such as motions to file under seal, motions for rehearing, etc etc.

Whether they grant or deny Maxwell's petition -- which the Trump DOJ has opposed -- is an open question.

And, FWIW, here'a an example of what the order emanating from the opening scheduling conference in September will look like:

She is a Monster. When has any SC been this proactive?

This isn't the court being proactive. It's the court following SOP.

Where ever the orange ass is on the line.

NOTHING. This should never even be heard. THAT would have been normal.

Maybe you're not familiar with Supreme Court procedures.

Maxwell filed a petition for certiorari arguing that there is a split in the circuits on a legal issue key to her case -- whether a non-prosecution agreement entered into in one district is binding on other districts.

Petitions for cert are considered in conferences held by the justices. Most are denied. A relatively small number are granted.

If the court denies her petition for cert -- something the Trump administration has argued it should do -- Maxwell loses and she stays in prison. If the court grants her petition, the standard operating procedure would be for the court to schedule briefing and oral argument. It doesn't necessarily mean that in the end they will rule in her favor. The Court not infrequently affirms an appellate decision after granting cert to consider an appeal.

That means rulings by a District Court Judge in many cases do not apply in all 50 States, so the Supreme Court has to revisit and clarify its recent ruling. Who didn't see that coming?

Not related. Not cited by any party. No connection whatsoever.

and whether it will be granted or denied will be decided at conference. Even if it is granted -- not a far fetched idea since the case raises a specific legal question on which the circuits are split, which often is the basis for granting cert -- it doesn't mean that the case, after being scheduled for briefing and argument -- won't result in the court affirming the appeals court decision that Maxwell is challenging.

will be considered -- along with any number of other petitions.

Again, I'm going to assume you simply don't know how Supreme Court procedure works.

My question was did a judge decide to hear her case? If not ok, but if one did, who was it?

At that time, if four of the nine decide the case is "cert-worthy" they will schedule it for briefing and oral argument after which a decision on the merits will be reached. They will probably announce whether they will hear his case -- along with a number of other cases that are scheduled for conference in late September -- when the new court session begins in October.

I apologize, but i'm so upset to see what's happening to our country. so upset!

The SC decide if pedos are ok?

The average American sitting in jail get a looksie appeal from the Supreme Court?
I mean come on.

Of these, around 1200 pay the required $300 filing fee. Most of the rest are filed "in forma pauperis" and the fee is waived. Only around 80 to 100 petitions are granted per year, with the rest being denied.

What criteria is used, and who denies? Could her request have been denied? Just trying to understand just how this works, if you don't mind my question.

. . .how Maxwell's petition merits being one of the 80 to 100 granted out of the ~10000 submitted.

I am 100% certain that you have more knowledge on this than I do. But this is what most people are questioning. It is also why people are saying rich people have different access to the system.

I don't mean to be attacking you. But from my perspective it seems like you say this is just "normal procedure" and then at the same time say only a very small percentage of these get granted. For a lay person like myself this seems like special treatment.

Clarence seems like he might have 'taken advantage'.

And Maxwell will ultimately be released, unfortunately.

It's not something ordinary Americans get to have as a virtually automatic benefit. It's for the rich and powerful. Fake democracy bends over backwards to accommodate elite requests.
