Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in Morgan v. Ygrene Energy Fund, Inc. (Briefs here; oral argument video here.)
The court’s staff summarized the issue in Morgan this way: ““Must a homeowner exhaust administrative tax remedies by filing a claim for a refund with an assessment board before filing an action asserting consumer protection claims against private entities involved in the implementation of a loan program in which the loans are repaid through assessments on the property and the local government acquires a tax lien on the property?” The court granted review in February 2023. More about the case here and here.
This will be the last opinion for the two cases argued on the September calendar.
There are a number of other argued but undecided cases in the pipeline: the four on the October calendar (three of the opinions due by January 5); the three on the November calendar (opinions due by February 2); and four death penalty appeals with opinions substantially delayed by post-argument briefing (see here and here) — the opinions in People v. Bankston, argued in early May, People v. Chhuon and Pan, argued in late May, and People v. Barrera, argued in June, might not file until February 26, and the People v. Demolle opinion, argued in October, might not file until April 23.
The Morgan opinion can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
