A few GVRs and lots of cert denials in first full SCOTUS order list of OT 2024

The Supreme Court formally kicks off its new term, October Term 2024, with oral arguments in two cases this morning.  But its first official product of OT 2024 is this 50-page order list with more cert denials than I can count.  The order list begins with a few G(ranted), V(acated), R(emanded) cases in federal criminal matters based on Rahimi and Erlinger, and I am a bit surprised that the GVR list is not longer. 

I am not at all surprised that the cert denial list is extreme long, and I suspect there may be a few surprises therein.  Readers are encourage to comment on any cases in (or not in) the denials that catch their eye.

The only big criminal case to be argued during the first SCOTUS sitting of OT 2024 is the capital case Glossip v. Oklahoma.  I hope to round up some of the press coverage and commentary on this case in the coming days.

Glossip is so f'in guilty. Can't believe that the AG is actually trying to get his clown released.

Nothing significant that I could see from this part of the country. I know that there are a couple of likely cert petitions coming in the next couple of months that could be interesting particularly on Second Amendment issues.

After Rahimi, the court GVR'd cases on both sides of the split on felon in possession and the Second Amendment. No guidance whatsoever. Even after the SG acquiesced in several cases. They need to just take a case and lay down the boundaries/categories for as applied challenges.
