SCOTUS Actions 1/7/2008

The U.S. Supreme Court's grant of two summary decisions and denial of numerous petitions is covered by SCOTUSBlog here.

The two summary decisions involved claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. The first claim regarded an attorney who participated in a proceeding by speaker-phone (held: no current requirement for lawyers to be physically present), and the second claim was dismissed because the individual abandoned the claim.

The Court did not issue any new grants of certiorari.
