When will we hear if the 3rd circuit will hear Trump's appeal of the PA case?

If they refuse to hear it, can he appeal that to The Supreme Court?

If so, when would we know if they agreed to hear the case?

These are important dates to be aware of concerning Trump's latest "Hail Mary" pass.

2. Appeals to the circuit courts are not discretionary, so they will have to hear it.

Typically these appeals first go to a three-judge panel but those can be appealed to the full court of appeals. Their final decision will be heard by the Supreme Court only if they agree to hear it by granting the appellant's cert petition.

3. Correct, though the appeals court can issue a very bare-bones affirmance of the district court

4. Big problems, Guliani is not admitted to circuit court and they have no other lawyer

They may need another lawyer to file papers at 3rd circuit as Giuliani is not admitted there and the only attorney currently on the case who is is designated as inactive

5. What a clown show!

This mess will be taught in law school courses on ethics (and federal civil procedure) for decades.
