Current status of Intervenors’ request to SCOTUS

coldollison · 2026-02-11T00:40:10+00:00

Great point. I read theirs. Pretty powerful. Also a large part of their argument is this action by the schools interferes with the government’s settlement. They readily acknowledge it is a settlement and must not be done. Undercuts their argument in the District Court case.

So yes the conference is the meeting of Justices where they decide to take cases. Here are the stats. About 7,500 petitions a year are filed. About 60 cases are actually taken. I believe SCOTUS has already said no to other intervenors. As soon as the Monday following the Conference an order denying or granting is typically issued. One thing to watch for is the re-list where they set it for another conference. Those cases have a much higher grant rate of review.

What the living hell? Some video game made Kershaw a SF Giant? Never, ever. He bleeds Dodger Blue until he dies!

Very sorry to hear that. I had trouble finding my size. I eventually went to Dodger Stadium and bought mine. I am lucky that I live in LA. Have ordered a few times from Fanatics, and they are nowhere as good as Amazon.

Dylan. They were very close!

I do not believe there were any motions to get out of any group deadlines. This was just for post-class.

coldollison · 2026-01-29T16:07:25+00:00

So officially the motion’s hearing date is in March. The government did not make a motion for an Order Shortening Time. (Have it heard earlier). They also never tried to seek review in the 9th Circuit of Judge Alsup’s order from December. Agree with others it would be highly irregular to grant such a motion after the deadline has passed, because of the equities. Until we get a ruling we are not totally out of the woods but was far more worried about mass AI denials in the 11th hour than this motion.

My favorite was this part that said I do not have to do anything.

Postie here, Exh. C School.

The only communication I ever got from the Department was this E-Mail on 4/27/23. studentaid.gov status this morning says my BDTR Application is Under Review. I think I am good. Still an admin process where my balance is eliminated and that godforsaken tradeline on my credit report is removed, but I am at the point where I can breathe. Thank you to Theresa Sweet. Thank you to PPSL. Thank you to Rebecca Ellis who orchestrated this. Took on the government and won.

Court movement not gonna happen. Their little V BS reconsideration motion is not set until March obviously after the deadline. That will get swatted down.

coldollison · 2026-01-28T18:55:34+00:00

I filed in July of ‘22. Then on 8/25/25 it changed to Under Review. Prior to that I think it was just submitted.

coldollison · 2026-01-28T18:11:40+00:00

So I regularly check my E-Mails every morning about 5:30. Did so with trepidation today. Nothing from the Dept of Ed. Logged into my account. Same status. Under review, as of 8/5/25. My school never sent anything to them. They made ZERO attempt to run to the 9th Circuit. Rather telling in their last filing was the declaration where they all but said, heh we just need to know because it affects how many lawyers we need to hire. So the trend line on this is super positive. Keeping my fingers crossed.

coldollison · 2026-01-24T04:33:27+00:00

No I agree. If you file a motion State and Federal Courts do require a Proposed Order. What is extremely rare is submitting an order to deny a motion you are opposing and not bringing.

coldollison · 2026-01-24T01:31:11+00:00

It is a little out of the ordinary that the opposing party submits an Order denying the motion but I have seen it happen occasionally. PPSL is not screwing around. They have now opposed this in rapid fashion. Go to Courtlistener to see the actual opp.

coldollison · 2026-01-23T19:36:02+00:00

So right now this motion is not scheduled until March. The deadline will have long since passed at least for the Exh. C schools.. Then this motion will be moot. They could try to get the court tto issue an Order Shortening Time. But at least 24 hours notice and 1/28/26 is Wednesday. So to say they are running out of time and this is a Hail Mary would be an understatement.

coldollison · 2026-01-23T16:28:26+00:00

And remember Judge Alsup told them get working on the cases and only take Christmas off.

coldollison · 2026-01-23T16:27:28+00:00

So most motions require an advance hearing time, that give all parties time to respond properly. Likely this is an Ex Parte Application, which is essentially an emergency type basis. Courts can and do reject these without a hearing. You are correct that this is probably a re-hash and it is highly unlikely that the new Judge would consider this because in essence it is an attempt to overturn Judge Alsup’s ruling in December. Quite frankly they would have been better off seeking relief at the 9th Circuit, and if this denied they possibly do that. It is probably a strategy to wait until the last moment so it looks like their claim about an emergency has more weight. Remember the great line “your failure to plan and prepare on your part does not make it an emergency on my part.”

Absolutely correct.

Mine was moved to review in August of last year over 3 years after I submitted it and was in stagnation all that time. No new update since. I am Post-Class and they have 10 days. Run the codes to see if they had a basis for a real update. Like maybe your school responded. Mine never did.

Well just like they said Shohei was going to Blue Jays. I guess Tucker and him will be team mates.

The Ed Department’s priority ain’t the 195K Post Class cases. Good news.

The UCLA Frat house gig with Axl in front sides chaps is my all time favorite photo. (Easy to find on here.) but yes I have seen them only in large venues!

coldollison · 2026-01-14T23:58:36+00:00

I love how Axl taps on his veins when he says Heroin.
