So, Richard is preparing to file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court. Won't go anywhere, of course, but what has he got to lose, except some of the money the receiver should be taking away from him.

BTW - your definintion for writ of certiorari is correct, but it can be mislead people into thinking Ginsberg is actually considering the case, while all that is happening is that Ginsberg is allowing a delay in the filing of the petiition. The definition for a petition for a writ of certiorari is more accurate:

www.techlawjournal.com/glossary/legal/certiorari.htm

Petition for Writ of Certiorari. (informally called "Cert Petition.") A document which a losing party files with the Supreme Court asking the Supreme Court to review the decision of a lower court. It includes a list of the parties, a statement of the facts of the case, the legal questions presented for review, and arguments as to why the Court should grant the writ.
