17. It is a routine petition for a writ of certiorari.

The final rehearing in the lower court was in November. After the lower court appeals have ended, the losing party can file to have the Supreme Court hear it (petition for a writ of certiorari - roughly the same as an appeal). She didn't timely file it, but asked for and received an extension. A bunch of other stuff happened, including the US asking for and receiving an extension to reply. What was just filed was her response to the US reply.

The Supreme Court doesn't have to grant certiorari (it doesn't have to hear her case), but the stuff filed so far is routine.
