Certiorari—Summary Dispositions
No. 07–919. American Isuzu Motors, Inc., et al., Petitioners v. Lungisile
Ntsebeza, et al. On petition for writ of certiorari to the United

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. The Chief Justice, Justice Kennedy,
Justice Breyer, and Justice Alito took no part in the consideration
or decision of this petition.
