This is a 'petition for a writ of certiorari' scheduled for a conference on Jan. 06. No one knows if it will be even heard less require the votes to proceed and schedule for oral arguments. In the article it states only 20-25% of the petitions distributed for a given conference are actually discussed”. The other 75-80% of petitions are denied and discarded—likely without the justices ever reading them or even being aware they exist.

I hope the Brunson petition is indeed considered and survives conference.
