Dish DE Seeks More Time for Cert Petition Filing

Dish Network designated entity Northstar Wireless asked the Supreme Court for another extension of the deadline for filing its petition for writ of certiorari in a challenge to an appellate court's upholding of the FCC's denial of AWS-3 auction bidding credits. In an application Monday, Northstar counsel Paul Clement of Clement & Murphy requested the 30 additional days because he has been familiarizing himself with the case and also has "substantial briefing and argument obligations" in other cases leading up to the current Dec. 16 deadline. An extension was previously granted Clement in November (see 2211080018).
