SCOTUS Sets Jan. 17 Oral Argument in ‘Tandem’ Cases That Seek to Undo Chevron

The U.S. Supreme Court scheduled Jan. 17 oral argument in the two cases in which the petitioners are asking SCOTUS to overrule the Chevron doctrine, said a text-only docket entry Friday in both cases. SCOTUS granted the petitioners cert May 1 in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (docket 22-451) (see 2305010058). When the court granted cert Oct. 13 to the second group of Chevron petitioners in Relentless v. Commerce Department (docket 22-1219), it ordered the clerk to establish a briefing schedule that would allow the two cases to be argued “in tandem” in the January argument session (see 2310130064). The Relentless petitioners’ opening brief on the merits was due by the close of business Monday, and their reply brief will be due Jan. 5, just 12 days before SCOTUS holds oral argument in the two cases. The government's answering brief in Relentless is due Dec. 15. SCOTUS. in an order list Monday, granted the Relentless petitioners' Nov. 8 motion to dispense with printing the joint appendix in the case (see 2311080076).
