It’s been 116 days since Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar announced his retirement and 71 days since he left the court. (See the clock on the SCOCAblog website.) And Governor Gavin Newsom has yet to name a replacement, let alone have the new justice confirmed and sworn in.
So the court on Wednesday morning will hear its two-argument January calendar with pro tem justices.
As usual, the arguments will be live streamed.
Because of the oral arguments, the court will not be conferencing this week and there will be a double conference next week.
