| Dec 18 2024 | Application (24A588) referred to the Court. |
| Dec 18 2024 | Consideration of the application (24A587) for an injunction pending review presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is deferred pending oral argument. Applicants suggested this Court treat the application as a petition for a writ of certiorari; doing so, the petition is granted. The petition for a writ of certiorari in No. 24-656 (24A587) is granted. The cases are consolidated, and a total of two hours is allotted for oral argument. The parties are directed to brief and argue the following question: Whether the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, as applied to petitioners, violates the First Amendment. The parties are directed to file electronically simultaneous opening briefs, limited to 13,000 words, and a joint appendix on or before 5 p.m. (EST), Friday, December 27, 2024. Reply briefs, limited to 6,000 words, are to be filed electronically on or before 5 p.m. (EST), Friday, January 3, 2025. Any amicus curiae briefs are to be filed electronically on or before 5 p.m. (EST), Friday, December 27, 2024. Booklet format briefs prepared in compliance with Rule 33.1 shall be submitted as soon as possible thereafter. The case is set for oral argument on Friday, January 10, 2025. VIDED. |
| Dec 18 2024 | Because the Court has consolidated these cases for briefing and oral argument, future filings and activity in the cases will now be reflected on the docket of No. 24-656. Subsequent filings in these cases must therefore be submitted through the electronic filing system in No. 24-656. Each document submitted in connection with one or more of these cases must include on its cover the case number and caption for each case in which the filing is intended to be submitted. Where a filing is submitted in fewer than all of the cases, the docket entry will reflect the case number(s) in which the filing is submitted; a document filed in all of the consolidated cases will be noted as “VIDED.” |
