SCOTUS Dismisses Show Cause Against Shipley

March 23rd, 2015

In today’s orders, the case against Howard Neil Shipley ends with a bust, rather than a bang:

IN THE MATTER OF HOWARD NEIL SHIPLEY
A response having been filed, the Order to Show Cause, dated December 8, 2014, is discharged. All Members of the Bar are reminded, however, that they are responsible—as Officers of the Court—for compliance with the requirement of Supreme Court Rule 14.3 that petitions for certiorari be stated “in plain terms,” and may not delegate that responsibility to the client.

This proves, once again, that Paul Clement is the best at what he does.
