The plaintiff in the Fourth Circuit
King case has
petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. Meanwhile, the government has
petitioned the court of appeals in the D.C. Circuit for rehearing en banc. [UPDATE: Within hours of receiving the petition, the court of appeals ordered the appellants to file a response to the rehearing petition within 15 days (which presumably will mean 17 days, or Monday, August 18), not to exceed 15 pages.]
