Martin has "retained" new counsel, apparently for the last ditch appeal of the FTC pharma industry banning decree. That new counsel has asked for a month's continuance -- to prepare a petition for cert. (and familiarize himself with the underlying issues).
You'll recall that I earlier said the "shot-clock" would otherwise run out, on Monday -- if he didn't get a reprieve. So the Supremes will (by rule) allow Martin until May 22, 2024, now -- to make a case that this is all so exceptional (or represents a deep conflict between various federal courts' holdings)... that the highest court should hear his plea.
My prediction? He will be bounced, within 20 elapsed days of his filing.
There is simply no novel, or weighty issue here to resolve.
And the fact that his new counsel is a solo guy with a P.O. Box only, and a *.GWU.edu email address suggests this is a "bro bono"(!) cert. attempt, or one on a contingent fee -- at least.
We shall see. [Maybe I should mention that this new guy also filed an amicus brief in the Second Cir. in Martin's failed appeal -- where his 501(c) amicus-client mostly promotes latter day Kevin Sorbo movies, on would be hard right X-tian themes.]
The point being. . . this is truly a "moon shot" type filing. It will come up short, Condor confidently predicts.
Onward, smiling.

on a different note, heartbreak?: https://www.livescience.com/space/pluto/plutos-huge-white-heart-has-a-surprisingly-violent-origin-new-study-suggests
This is. . . excellent -- and I hadn't seen / heard of it!
You know we covered the original and surprising heart shaped finding about six years back. . .
Will make yours a new post, this afternoon, after a few client calls. . .
Thank you so, so much!
Onward!
