SCOTUS Grants Cert to 2nd Group of Petitioners That Seek to Undo Chevron

The U.S. Supreme Court granted the cert petition Friday (docket 22-1219) of three fishing companies, Relentless, Huntress and Seafreeze Fleet, that seek to overturn the Chevron doctrine because the Commerce Department is requiring them to pay the costs of carrying federal inspectors onboard their vessels.

SCOTUS directed the clerk to establish a briefing schedule that will allow the Relentless case to be argued “in tandem” with Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo (docket 22-451) in the January argument session, said the court’s order list. The Loper Bright petitioners also are asking for Chevron deference to be “jettisoned.”
