SET FOR ARGUMENT on Wednesday, April 30, 2025. VIDED.
Petition GRANTED. The petition for a writ of certiorari in No. 24-396 is granted. The cases are consolidated, and a total of one hour is allotted for oral argument. Petitioners' briefs on the merits are to be filed on or before Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Respondent's brief on the merits is to be filed on or before Monday, March 31, 2025. The reply briefs are to be received by the Clerk and served upon opposing counsel on or before 2 p.m., Monday, April 21, 2025. VIDED. Justice Barrett took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition.
Because the Court has consolidated these cases for briefing and oral argument, future filings and activity in the cases will now be reflected on the docket of No. 24-394. Subsequent filings in these cases must therefore be submitted through the electronic filing system in No. 24-394. Each document submitted in connection with one or more of these cases must include on its cover the case number and caption for each case in which the filing is intended to be submitted. Where a filing is submitted in fewer than all of the cases, the docket entry will reflect the case number(s) in which the filing is submitted; a document filed in all of the consolidated cases will be noted as “VIDED.”
