Supreme Court Rejects Extreme Petition

WASHINGTON - In an occurrence that surprised few, the U.S. Supreme Court today denied review of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals' decision reinstating charges against Extreme Associates, Rob Black and Lizzy Borden for interstate trafficking in obscene matter.



The rejection had not been expected quite so soon, however, since Extreme's petition had been filed just one month ago, and the response from the U.S. Department of Justice would not be due for at least two more weeks. However, according to Jennifer Kinsley, co-counsel for the Extreme defendants, the government waived its right to file a response, leaving the high court free to make its decision.

Even with the Supreme Court's ruling, it is unlikely that United States v. Extreme Associates will be going to trial any time in the near future.
