Certiorari Orders - Summary Dispositions and Case Management
Summary
The Supreme Court issued its April 6, 2026 order list granting certiorari in 6 cases including Stephen Bannon v. United States, Alexander Sittenfeld v. United States, and Floyd Johnson v. United States Congress. The Court vacated and remanded multiple judgments for reconsideration and denied numerous other petitions. Petitioners in two in forma pauperis cases have until April 27, 2026 to pay docketing fees and comply with filing rules.
What changed
The Supreme Court granted six petitions for writs of certiorari, vacating lower court judgments and remanding cases for further proceedings. Cases involving Stephen Bannon, Alexander Sittenfeld, and three other defendants were remanded to various circuit courts for reconsideration in light of pending motions to dismiss or recent factual developments. The Court also invited the Solicitor General to file a brief expressing views of the United States in Aldridge v. Regions Bank and denied stays and numerous other petitions.
Legal practitioners and criminal defendants should note the April 27, 2026 compliance deadline for two petitioners to pay docketing fees and submit petitions compliant with Rule 38(a) and Rule 33.1. The remanded cases (Bannon, Sittenfeld, Fazaga, Swick, Johnson) may see further proceedings in their respective circuit courts as lower courts reconsider in light of the cited developments.
What to do next
- Monitor pending petition deadlines - docketing fees and Rule 33.1 compliance due April 27, 2026 for two cases
- Track remanded cases for reconsideration in Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and D.C. Circuits
