As we noted earlier this week, the Federal Quiet Title Act isn’t exactly on the public radar screens. Especially questions about whether the Act’s 12-year statute of limitations is “jurisdictional” or merely a claims processing rule.
Thus, you are not likely to see throngs of protesters on the Supreme Court steps today (Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2022 at 10:00 a.m). when the Court hears oral arguments in Wilkins v. United States, No. 21-1164.
Our law firm colleague Jeff McCoy is arguing, and you can watch him and the rest of our legal team explain what’s at stake in the above video. Or you can tune in and listen live to the audio here.
To hear what others think this case is about, read on:
- A squabble over a forest road may pave the way for further narrowing of “jurisdictional” timing rules (by Ronald Mann, SCOTUSblog) (“A casual observer sees a prominent red flag when the government brief relies entirely on precedent and can’t bring itself to argue that the government’s position tracks the court’s current rules of statutory interpretation. Several other features of the case mark this as a grant for the purpose of reversal.”)
- This question could seal fate of SCOTUS Forest Service fracas (by Pamela King, Greenwire)
Don’t miss it.
