Decent Essays
A federal judge has ordered the attorney for the Utah Republican Party to show why he shouldn't be held in contempt of court for repeatedly missing filing deadlines in the ongoing dispute over a law changing the state's nominating system.

U.S. District Judge David Nuffer said in an order Thursday that attorney Marcus Mumford has missed 17 filing deadlines after he was asked to toss out the party's latest motion for summary judgment in the case because it was not filed in time.

Nuffer said Mumford could be disqualified from the case and sanctioned if he cannot explain the repeated missed deadlines.

Maryland 373 U.S. 83, Certiorari was granted to a decision of the Court of Appeals of Maryland to consider whether petitioner was denied a federal right when the appeals court restricted its grant of a new murder trial to the question of punishment, leaving the determination of guilt undisturbed. The appeals court granted a retrial after holding that suppression of evidence by the state violated petitioner's rights under the Due Process Clause, U.S. Constitutional Amendment XIV (Law School Case Briefs, 2013). Furthermore, there was a judgement that had granted the petitioner a new murder trial that was solely based on the issue of his punishment. Since the petitioner was convicted of murder and then sentenced to death in his first trail with the Maryland Court, the petitioner was then informed that the Maryland Courts had withheld a statement that indicated that another individual had admitted that exact homicide. What the Supreme Court had concluded from this case was that, because of the suppression of the evidence was in favorable to an accused upon the request that violated the Due Process Clause required the court to a…
