Woolley v. Zimmerman
Headline: Denies petitions for rehearing in dozens of docketed cases, preventing further Supreme Court review of those matters and keeping the Court’s disposition at the rehearing stage unchanged.
Holding: The Court denied the petitions for rehearing listed in the opinion, refusing to reopen consideration of the specified docketed matters so they will not be reheard by the Justices.
- Prevents the Supreme Court from rehearing the listed cases.
- Ends the Court-stage rehearing requests for the named dockets.
Summary
Background
The opinion text lists dozens of docket numbers and short references to prior pages of the Court’s reports. At the end of that listing, the single clear action recorded is: "Petitions for rehearing denied." The document does not name the individual parties in the text provided here; it identifies the matters only by docket numbers.
Reasoning
The core question was whether the Court would grant rehearing — that is, whether the Justices would reopen consideration of those cases. The text supplied records the Court’s decision to deny the petitions for rehearing. No separate explanation, opinion, or reasoning is included in this excerpt to explain the denials.
Real world impact
As recorded here, the practical result is that the Supreme Court chose not to rehear the listed cases, so those specific requests for additional Supreme Court review are ended. Litigants named only by docket number in this document will not receive a rehearing from the Court based on this action. The denial is a procedural outcome at the rehearing stage; the excerpt does not provide further detail about any consequences for the underlying cases beyond the denial itself.
