U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has forwarded several cases to the Supreme Court that address issues previously decided by the high court. The pattern of rulings from the appeals court has drawn attention from legal analysts who say it forms a route for additional review.
One commentator stated that the arrangement creates a pipeline of cases allowing the Supreme Court to decide whether it is ready to go farther. The Fifth Circuit has issued decisions that conflict with or test the limits of earlier Supreme Court holdings in areas such as regulatory authority and administrative procedures.
The Supreme Court has not yet indicated which of the cases it will accept for full review. Legal experts have pointed to the volume of cases reaching the court from the Fifth Circuit as a factor that may influence future docket selections.
