So the non major story of the day....WTF happened with SCOTUS/COLB?

Nothing I can find anywhere.
Anyone else?

Law student, Jeff Schreiber at Americasright.com states the following:

Several people are saying that, because Donofrio's case was not among the release showing two cases for which certiorari were granted, his stay-as-petition-for-cert was denied. Even the law blog at The Wall Street Journal is reporting as such. As much as I think it very probably was in fact denied, nothing I have seen so far--including the order list distributed today--suggests 100 percent that cert was either denied or granted.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I cannot find anything that conclusively points toward denial. I'm guessing that, absent evidence to the contrary, people are simply taking sides according to the odds.

Absent another miscellaneous order showing that the Justices granted Donofrio's petition, not likely to come at this hour, we'll just have to wait until Monday or Tuesday for the full list of orders.

I've been looking all over for the info. No dice.
