Blanca’s Cert Petition vs. FCC Circulated for Feb. 24 Justices' Conference

The Supreme Court circulated Blanca Telephone’s Jan. 9 cert petition for the justices’ Feb. 24 conference, said a text-only entry Wednesday in docket 22-645. Blanca is seeking SCOTUS enforcement of the 10th U.S. Circuit Appeals Court’s May 2021 mandate directing the FCC to collect an old USF debt only through “nonpunitive administrative offset” means. Blanca alleged in a Jan. 16 supplement the FCC retaliated against the ILEC’s cert petition by abruptly canceling its spectrum lease application for failure to make payment on a delinquent USF debt (see 2301190001).
