Posted by Orin Kerr: Medellin v. Dretke: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2005_05_22-2005_05_28.shtml#1116859427
[1]Thir morning, the Supreme Court DIG'ed (dismissed as improvidently granted) [2]Medellin v. Dretke, a closely watched case about international law and the death penalty. A DIG basically just takes the case off the Court's docket without issuing an opinion. This isn't a big surprise; I attended the oral argument, and that certainly sounded like the direction the Justices were heading in at the time. Lyle Denniston's [3]March 28th post following the oral argument has more.
