Quiet Monday at SCOTUS

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a Monday orders list today. No new criminal cases taken up. (See update below.) No opinions dissenting from denial of certiorari.The Justices return for arguments next Monday, November 28.

Update: I originally reported that no new cases were taken up. None were in the regular orders list. Later in the day, the court issued a separate order taking up a trademark case. I have never before seen the high court grant a certiorari petition on a Monday in an order separate from the regular Monday orders list. Curious.
