SCOTUS Extends Merits Briefs Deadlines in Case to Test Chevron Deference

The U.S. Supreme Court granted the June 2 motion of all parties to extend the merits brief schedule in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, said a text-only docket entry Friday (docket 22-451). Petitioner Loper Bright’s brief is due July 10, the respondents’ brief Aug. 30, said the entry. The case could have broad implications for the Chevron deference afforded agencies to properly interpret and enforce the federal statutes under their authority (see 2305010038).
