New York State RPA v. New York -- briefing schedule

Both parties have requested that the Supreme Court schedule the opening brief for May 7 and New York's brief for August 5. They note this would allow the Court to have argument during its October "sitting" (a two-week period for hearing arguments, meaning October 7-8 or 15-16.

The regular briefing schedule would have ended up in late May, I think, and since the Court normally breaks around July 4 until October, there would have been little time to read the briefs, schedule oral argument, take a vote, and write opinions.
