Motion of Donna Riegel, the administrator of the Estate of Charles R. 

Riegel, to be substituted in place of Charles R. Riegel, deceased, 

granted. The exercise of this Court’s power to grant an untimely motion 

to substitute a party is not unprecedented. State Farm Mutual 

Auto. Ins. Co. v. Campbell, 537 U. S. 1042 (2002); see also Schact v. 

United States, 398 U. S. 58, 63–64 (1970) (“The procedural rules 

adopted by the Court for the orderly transaction of its business are 

not jurisdictional and can be relaxed by the Court in the exercise of 

its discretion ...”); Stern & Gressman, Supreme Court Practice 350 

(8 th ed. 2002). The Chief Justice and Justice Scalia would deny the motion, 

because it was filed more than six months after the petitioner’s 

death. See Supreme Court Rule 35.1 (“If the substitution of a representative 

of the deceased is not made within six months after the death 

of the party, the case shall abate” (emphasis added)). The fact that Rule 

35.1 is not jurisdictional is not a reason to ignore it, particularly since 

here, unlike in Campbell, supra, the motion was opposed by the 

respondent. 

No. 06–887. City of Revere, Massachusetts, et al., Petitioners v. 

T&D Video, Inc., dba Moonlite Reader. Motion of respondent for attorney’s 

fees and costs referred to the Appeals Court of Massachusetts 

for adjudication.

J. Pimentel, et al.; and 

No. 06–1204. Republic of the Philippines, et al., Petitioners v. Mariano 

J. Pimentel, et al. Motion of respondent Mariano J. Pimentel to set 

a deadline for submission of an amicus brief by the Solicitor General 

denied. 

No. 06–1196. Khaled A. F. Al Odah, Next Friend of Fawzi Khalid 

Abdullah Fahad Al Odah, et al., Petitioners v. United States, et al. 

Motion of International Law Scholars for leave to file a brief as amici 

curiae granted. 

No. 06–1398. AT&T Pension Benefit Plan, as Successor to the Ameritech 

Management Pension Plan, Petitioner v. Linda Call, Individually



and on Behalf of All Other Similarly Situated. The Solicitor General is 

invited to file a brief in this case expressing the views of the United 

States.

Staffing Alliance Employee Medical Plan, et al. The Solicitor General 

is invited to file a brief in this case expressing the views of the

No. 07A311. Larry Norris, Director, Arkansas Department of Corrections, 

Applicant v. Jack Harold Jones, Jr. Application to vacate the 

stay of execution of sentence of death entered by the United States 

Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on October 11, 2007, presented 

to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court denied. Opinion by 

Justice Scalia, dissenting from denial. I vote to grant the State’s application 

to vacate the stay because in my view the decision of the Eighth 

Circuit was based on the mistaken premise that our grant of certiorari 

in Baze v. Rees, S. Ct. ––– (2007), calls for the stay of every execution 

in which an individual raises an Eighth Amendment challenge to the 

lethal injection protocol. Grant of certiorari in a single case does not 

alter the application of normal rules of procedure, including those related 

to timeliness. In this case, Jones’s challenge to the lethal injection 

protocol, which was brought nine years after his conviction and sentence 

became final, was dilatory.








No. 07A304. Christopher Scott Emmett, Applicant v. Gene M. Johnson, 

Director, Virginia Department of Corrections. Application for stay 

presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court 

granted. The execution of sentence of death is stayed pending final 

disposition of the appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for the 

Fourth Circuit or further order of this Court.

No. 07–5130. Jose Arquimides Ibarra, Petitioner v. United States.

the Eighth Circuit. Motion of petitioner for leave to proceed in forma

States, 551 U. S. ––– (2007). 

No. 07–6522. Montgomery Blair Sibley, Petitioner v. Stephen Breyer, 

Associate Justice, Supreme Court of the United States, et al. On petition 


the District of Columbia Circuit. Because the Court lacks a quorum, 28 

U. S. C. § 1, and since a majority of the qualified Justices are of the 

opinion that the case cannot be heard and determined at the next Term 

of the Court, the judgment is affirmed under 28 U. S. C. § 2109, which 

provides that under these circumstances the Court shall enter its order 

affirming the judgment of the court from which the case was brought 

for review with the same effect as upon affirmance by an equally divided 

Court. Justice Stevens, Justice Scalia, Justice Kennedy, Justice 

Souter, Justice Thomas, Justice Ginsburg, and Justice Breyer took no 

part in the consideration or decision of this petition.
