According to the SCt.'s docket report, the SG filed its response to the SCt.'s "invitation" for the SG's views on Classen on 12/13. However, the response has not yet been posted on the SG's website. I have not been able to locate a copy of the response on the internet (such as PACER & a google search).

According to a poster on YMB, the SG recommmended against a grant of cert in Classen. The Fed. Cir.'s decision in Classen should be viewed as favorable to the MNTA position, so perhaps the SG believes that the adverse decision in MNTA is a better vehicle for SCt. consideration. But without seeing the SG's response (I would think the MNTA case would at least be cited), I am just guessing.
