The Supreme Court accepted 13 petitions for review, but San Jose's petition to upend baseball's antitrust exemption remains in limbo.
The Supreme Court of the United States returned from its summer recess to grant appeals on the approximately 2,000 petitions submitted to it over the break, but took no action today on City of San Jose vs. Major League Baseball, a strong indicator that it will allow the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to stand. The Supreme Court announced approval of 13 petitions Thursday morning after its "Long Conference" last Monday to discuss requests for Supreme Court review that had accumulated during the Court's summer break.
