. . . . . . . crawling to the finish line here on a petition for certiorari to the BIG HOUSE which i have been working on....( lessee here, the first draft is dated February 17 ).... for just about a month ... a month of cross-eyed staring and wide-eyed insomnia over "dicta"....
.... a MONTH... for a petition that is only 20 pages long in substance....
.... the issue is hyper-technical and double-talky.... but it is the kind of issue that might interest a justice named after an opera house... maybe...
....that makes for an 11% chance, although tempering hopes, the chances are more like 2% in a contrary wind....
....were the petition to be granted however... it would signal the revenge of the gnomes :)
....to my annoyance i forgot to state that i was hereby asking for review <mega blech> but hopefully the clerks will deem that "included by virtue of obviousness".... still i hate bloopers like that.
in any case, pulling head out of the sand, i'm going to stick it under a pillow
....
