Good News: The Pro-Tangerine Fifth Circuit Panel WILL NOT Decide The OSHA Vaccines Case. That Will Happen In Cincinnati, Now By A Rule Requiring Random Assignment.

Today, the Biden Administration lawyers for OSHA filed, of right, a motion to consolidate all the “vax mandate” cases, in one courtroom.

As the federal multi-district rules require, then a single courtroom was chosen by random drawing of lots. [Ping-pong balls, in a hopper, actually.] That courtroom… will thus now be in the Sixth Circuit — Cincy. And we should expect more sanity, by far, in those opinions:

…[OSHA] hereby notify the Court of the filing, on November 16, 2021, of the attached NOTICE TO THE UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION OF MULTICIRCUIT PETITIONS FOR REVIEW with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML).

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a)(3), the Secretary is requesting that the JPML consolidate thirty-four petitions for review of the same final agency action filed in the D.C., First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeals and assign them to a single circuit court….

It will be on an expedited schedule — so we will keep you informed, here. Onward — smiling… see ‘ya, Tangeriners. Out.
