SCOTUS Says It Will Consider Amicus Briefs in Both Chevron Cases Together

Amicus briefs filed on the merits in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (docket 22-451) “will be considered in connection” with Relentless v. Department of Commerce (docket 22-1219), said the U.S. Supreme Court Friday in a Relentless text-only docket entry. The petitioners in both cases ask SCOTUS to overrule the Chevron doctrine. When SCOTUS granted the Relentless cert petition Oct. 13, it directed the clerk to establish a briefing schedule that will allow Relentless to be argued “in tandem” with Loper Bright in the January argument session (see 2310130064). The petitioners’ brief on the merits in Relentless is due Nov. 20, and the government’s responding brief is due Dec. 15.
