On November 1, several amendments to the United States Sentencing Guidelines took effect. Some of these changes are significant, offering advantages to the defense, while others are less beneficial. However, ultimately, this process amounts to nothing more than "Kabuki Theatre," meaning the tortured guideline applications become merely performative, because 18 U.S.C. § 3553, enables discerning judges to overlook the sentencing recommendations provided by the guidelines. Thus, it is crucial to be informed about these amendments to argue effectively whether and how they should be considered in the final analysis. IN THIS EPISODE: Some eye-popping facts and stats after forty years of guideline sentencing; Relevant conduct amendment to now exclude acquitted conduct (but it comes with a big but…) Possibility that new litigation may void the Kisor fix because of commission overreach by overriding congress and/or resolving circuit splits; The “Kisor” work-around to fix the intended loss issue under the fraud guideline; The implication and larger application of the Kisor workaround – i.e., support for the argument that for other guidelines, if it's in the commentary, it doesn't count; Clarification of the new Zero Point Offender provisions (ZPO) to deny eligibility for anyone who gets an upward role adjustment; And, perhaps the one bright spot, adding a potential downward departure for “youthful offenders” (mid-20's or less); Practice tips for navigating the new guidelines provisions; Information on reaching out to the commission for future proposed guideline amendments.

The guidelines are 40 years old, which is also when I picked up my first guitar. So, yes, I had to give a shameless plug for my first rock record, "One Good Thing", which is available everywhere you stream your music! Music is another creative outlet that keeps me sane and quiets my brain: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kyVV0Qs1xMGqXQYZlzHzBgUlA7A35aENI FAREWELL 2024!!!! This will be the last new episode of 2024. As always, I wanted to thank you for listening, constributing, liking, subscribing and spreading the word about Set for Sentencing. We have been going strong for over two years now, and the show was recently ranked #7 among the 35 “must-follow” Criminal Defense podcasts in 2024, via Feedspot (35 Best Criminal Defense Podcasts You Must Follow in 2024). So, per a tradition I started in 2023, I'll be taking the rest of the year off! The remaining episodes of the year will be re-broadcasts of either other podcasts I have appeared on or some earlier episodes I adore and may have been overlooked when the audience was smaller. 2025 will be a wild ride, and we'll be right here with you, buckled up and ready to roll. Until then, I'm grateful for all of it, and I hope you find some peace, light and love as the year winds down.

What better way to start off the new year than to review some of the big guideline changes that took effect at the end of the year, and some forward looking sentencing commission proposals for changes that could be coming in 2024? We kick off this year with our friend and colleague, guidelines and sentencing stats guru, Mark Allenbaugh. He's drinking coke, I'm sipping Don Rico tequila. IN THIS EPISODE: Some major changes we gave short-shrift to in previous episodes, including the 3rd point for acceptance of responsibility, and changes to status points related to criminal history, and changes to the “safety valve provision”; The need for aggressive pre-trial litigation, and now without fear of losing the 3rd point; Newly proposed amendment pertaining to “acquitted conduct”; Newly proposed amendment moving “intended loss” into text of guideline, thereby resolving the issue created by Kisor v. Wilkie; Newly proposed amendment related to “criterion 10” of the Zero Point Offender guideline (ZIPPO), and the need to reach out to the commission to oppose this; Doug's plans to publish his book on mitigation videos in 2024. CONTACT THE SENTENCING COMMISSION (OR YOUR CONGRESSPEOPLE) ABOUT PROPOSED GUIDELINE AMENDMENTS: We spent a fair amount of time on the proposed changes to the new Zero Point Offender provision, in particular, the Commissions stated desire to amend the guideline to clarify the leader/organizer exclusion. There is NO EMPIRACAL evidence to support the claim that those who participated in a conspiracy and had an enhanced role in the crime are prone to recidivism! You can find all proposed amendments here: https://www.ussc.gov/guidelines/amendments/proposed-2024-amendments-federal-sentencing-guidelines For some proposed language to include in your correspondence, this is the gist of our argument: The proposed amendment to criterion 10 to place the “continuing criminal enterprise” language into a separate criterion is not a “technical” amendment. It would presumably preclude any offender who received an upward adjustment under 3B1.1 from receiving the new downward adjustment under 4C1.1. The commission prides itself on making data/empiracally based adjustments to the guidelines. However, the Commission has cited no empirical evidence to support such a broad exclusionary criterion. Moreover, given the significant litigation that already has ensured regarding both the prospective and retrospective application of 4C1.1, any amendments now will cause further confusion over application of USSG 4C1.1. As the Commission itself has indicated, criterion 10 (in its current form) is taken from the fourth prong of the safety valve at 18 USC 3553(f)(4). Courts have interpreted 18 USC 3553(f)(4) to exclude from the safety valve only management-level drug traffickers, i.e., only those engaged in a “continuing series” of drug offenses “from which such person obtains substantial income or resources.” 21 USC 848(c)(2). Excluding such individuals from receiving the Zero Point Offender adjustment makes sense inasmuch as such offenders are, by definition, recidivists. However, the Commission created 4C1.1 to address the fact that those with zero criminal history points have significantly lower rates of recidivism than those with even a single point. As there is no evidence to suggest that an offender that otherwise meets all the 4C1.1 criteria presents a substantial risk of recidivism merely because the offender received an adjustment under 3B1.1, the Commission should decline to make further amendments to the criteria at 4C1.1 at this time. Readers may submit their comments to the Commission on or before February 22, 2024 here: https://comment.ussc.gov/apex/r/ussc_apex/publiccomment/home LINKS TO OTHER RELEVANT SET FOR SENTENCING EPISODES: Ep. 36: Presumed Guilty: Using Acquitted, Dismissed, and Uncharged Conduct to Increase Sentences: https://youtu.be/93dOQ76t7tw?si=jx1_CFV2P8JnITt8 Ep. 65: Acquitted Conduct Revisited: Mmmmm...

I just love talking about (and sipping) great tequila! The cool thing about Don Rico, besides it being delicious and confirmed additive free on Tequila Matchmaker, is that the company was started by a fellow lawyer, Rick Olivo. Rick represented a major brand, fell in love with tequila, and started his own brand. It's not yet available in every state, but hopefully it will be soon.
The day after Halloween, all of the proposed guideline changes went into effect! We've talked about many of them in detail on previous podcasts, but here, we do a quick run-through of all eigiht categories of amendments. So what's in our candy bags the day after? Well, in truth, most of what we got were TREATS, but we have a few TRICKS as well. There's plenty to love here, but there are also a few catagories of offenses that could result in increased guideline calculations. Helping us get Set for Sentencing, our returning champion, guidelines guru Mark Allenbaugh to help run through all of it. IN THIS EPISODE: The EIGHT categories of guidelines changes that went into effect on 11/1/23 Some practical tips and tricks for dealing with them: Compassionate release (treat) Criminal History (treat) Acceptance of Responsibility (treat) New enhancement under the firearms guideline (trick) Career Offender guidelines (trick) Safety Valve (treat, but a lame circus peanut cleanup treat) Fentanyl enhancement (another weak treat) Sexual Abuse of a Ward Enhancement (it's a trick for the staff of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, who seem to have a sexual abuse problem in their facilities, and most definitely a treat for their many victims.) Why the commission is starting to move “commentary” into the guideline itself, in order to bypass new law (Kisor) that renders commentary non-binding on judges. If you have a case involving INTENDED LOSS under the fraud guidelines, be aware of the Kisor argument that gives you a solid argument (in some circuits) that there's no such thing as “intended loss”; The connection between the Sexual Abuse of a Ward enhancement and the new expanded grounds for Compassionate release, and some practical tips for inmates who are victims of abuse in prison.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently signaled a retreat from deference to agency guidance in Kisor v. Wilkie, in which the Court narrowed judicial deference available to agencies construing their own ambiguous regulations. But what about judicial deference to the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the agency housed in “within the Judicial Branch,” and which Justice Scalia derided as a “junior varsity Congress,” making policy choices that should be committed to the legislature? In Stinson v. United States, the Supreme Court held that courts should defer to the commentary the Sentencing Commission issued construing their formally adopted Sentencing Guidelines, unless they are “inconsistent with, or a plainly erroneous reading of,” the relevant Guideline. The Stinson Court required such deference even if the Commission's interpretation “may not be compelled by the guideline text.” On June 17, the Supreme Court's conference is slated to include discussion on a series of cases percolating up from the courts of appeals that all raise similar challenges to the use of Stinson deference in deciding criminal defendants' sentences. The Court seems poised to grant certiorari to one or more of these cases challenging deference in order to resolve a broad and deep split among the circuits that reflects inconsistencies in sentencing nationwide. Or, at least, it would explain why the court has been holding some of these cert petitions for over six months in order to consider all of them together—perhaps in order to select the best vehicle from among the slew of petitions clamoring for the Court's consideration. Here to discuss the pending Stinson deference cert petitions is appellate attorney John Elwood, a partner at Arnold & Porter who is better known in some circles as the relist guru on SCOTUSblog. John filed a petition for certiorari on behalf of Zimmian Tabb in a case out of the Second Circuit—one of the first Stinson deference cases to reach the Supreme Court last fall. John will explain what's at stake in the reconsideration of Stinson deference, including the following questions: Do constitutional due process and the rule of lenity preclude Stinson deference when commentary to a Sentencing Guideline would increase a sentence? Do courts owe deference to Guidelines commentary that appears to expand the scope of the Sentencing Guidelines? Post-Kisor, may courts defer to commentary without first determining whether the pertinent Guideline is ambiguous? Post-Kisor, must courts apply canons of construction like the rule of lenity before granting the agency deference? And, practically speaking, what might the Supreme Court be looking for to select the best vehicle for reconsideration of Stinson deference from among the pending cert petitions? Moderating the discussion will be New Civil Liberties Alliance Executive Director and General Counsel, Mark Chenoweth. NCLA authored another of the cert petitions pending before this week's conference at the Court on behalf of a defendant in the Eighth Circuit, Marcus Broadway. Featuring:-- John P. Elwood, Partner, Arnold & Porter -- Moderator: Mark Chenoweth, Executive Director and General Counsel, New Civil Liberties Alliance

On November 9, 2020, The Federalist Society's Administration Law & Regulation Practice Group hosted a virtual panel for the 2020 National Lawyers Convention. The topic of the panel was "Regulatory Practice and Oversight in 2021 and Beyond." While we think of “The Administrative State” as the relatively permanent apparatus of government, it has no lawful powers beyond those vested in officials the voters have chosen. “[T]he Constitution presumes that lesser executive officers will assist the President in discharging his duties.” (Seila Law) Those duties are, for the most part, implementing, administering, and enforcing the provisions of the laws Congress has enacted. What, then, are the implications of the 2020 elections for regulatory policy?From the earliest days of his Administration, President Trump made it a priority to cut back on the regulations he believed were impeding American economic success. Among other things, he instructed agencies to drop two regulations for each one added, and to comply with all procedural requirements in issuing guidance, and the Department of Justice announced it would not defend “subregulatory guidance.” In response to the arrival and spread of the contagious and deadly novel coronavirus, additional regulatory streamlining accelerated the approval of vaccines and other medical technologies, and of federally funded or permitted projects. Where do these initiatives stand? What will a second term/new administration bring? What will the 117th Congress do? Will it give early attention to administrative rules under the Congressional Review Act? Recent Supreme Court decisions on delegation (Gundy), on deference (Kisor), and on presidential authority (Seila Law) mean that Congressional oversight, and the President’s management, of the administrative state will play out on an evolving landscape of administrative law.This panel will discuss the likely consequences of the post-election prevailing winds.Featuring:Hon.

This teleforum will focus on the sundry problems with so-called "Brand X deference," whose name derives from the 2005 Supreme Court decision in National Cable & Telecom. Assoc. v. Brand X Internet Services. The judicial deference holding in the case was that federal agencies may issue new regulations that supersede previous interpretations of the relevant statute made by federal courts of appeals (unless that prior federal-court interpretation purported to be the only permissible interpretation of the statute). Hence, even if a federal circuit court of appeals has previously interpreted a statute, if an agency with jurisdiction subsequently issues a new regulation interpreting that statute differently, the federal court in a future case must defer (i.e., give Chevron deference) to the agency’s new interpretation of the statute. This month the U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether or not to take up a case that could do for Brand X deference what Kisor v. Wilkie did for Auer deference. That is, the Court could radically reduce the scope of Brand X’s application and/or clarify that Brand X deference only applies when a prior federal court did not use traditional tools of statutory analysis in interpreting the statutory provision at issue. Or, the Court could go even further and do away with Brand X deference altogether, as then-Judge Gorsuch called for when he was serving on the Tenth Circuit.Join us for this timely discussion of Baldwin v. U.S. (cert pending).Featuring: -- Mark Chenoweth, Executive Director & General Counsel, New Civil Liberties Alliance -- Moderator: Robert T. Carney, Senior Counsel, Caplin & Drysdale

The seventh installment of Ropes & Gray's podcast series, Non-binding Guidance, dives into the closely watched administrative law case, Kisor v. Wilkie. This Supreme Court case addresses the continued validity of the doctrine articulated in the 1997 Supreme Court case Auer v. Robbins, regarding judicial deference to federal administrative agency interpretations of their own regulations. In this episode, Ropes & Gray partner Greg Levine interviews his colleagues, Doug Hallward-Driemeier and Beth Weinman, about the factual background, opinions, and potential implications of Kisor, with particular emphasis on its significance for FDA-regulated life sciences companies seeking to challenge FDA or other federal agency regulatory interpretations. Among other things, Beth and Doug discuss the signals the Kisor case sends about the future of Chevron deference, which addresses the related question of judicial deference to agency interpretations of statutes. Tune in to this discussion to learn about key takeaways from the Supreme Court's Kisor ruling and its potential impact on FDA-regulated companies.

The Supreme Court’s 2018-2019 term will soon be over, but the need for serious analysis has just begun. Did the High Court get the big cases right? What will the Court’s ruling in The American Legion v. American Humanist Association mean for the future of religion in the public square? How will Rucho v. Common Cause and Benisek v. Lamone, the partisan gerrymandering cases, impact the next election cycle? Will the ruling in Kisor v. Wilkie rein in administrative agencies? How have Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh changed the balance of the Court, and have any broader themes of the Roberts Court emerged this term?Please join us as our distinguished panels of practitioners and journalists discuss these cases and more from the 2018-2019 term.

The Kisor case decided recently by the Supreme Court reined in so-called "Auer deference," but what changes about regulating going forward? Will Yeatman comments. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This morning the Supreme Court decided the much-anticipated Kisor v. Wilkie case. The Court had granted certiorari in Kisor to decide whether to overrule Bowles v. Seminole Rock & Sand Co., 325 U.S. 410 (1945), and Auer v. Robbins, 519 U.S. 452 (1997). Seminole Rock and Auer are often cited for the proposition that when an administrative agency promulgates a regulation and the regulation is ambiguous, a reviewing court must give “controlling weight” to the agency’s interpretation of the regulation unless the interpretation is plainly erroneous or is inconsistent with the regulation. A number of the Court’s members had cast doubt on the soundness of the Seminole Rock/Auer deference doctrine in recent years, and many observers have predicted that the doctrine’s days are numbered. Karen Harned and Stephen Vaden will join us today to discuss that morning’s highly-fractured decision in Kisor and its potential implications -- including for the Chevron deference doctrine that applies to agency interpretations of statutory provisions (set forth in Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837 (1984)).

Last week the Supreme Court decided the much-anticipated Kisor v. Wilkie case. The Court had granted certiorari in Kisor to decide whether to overrule Bowles v. Seminole Rock & Sand Co., 325 U.S. 410 (1945), and Auer v. Robbins, 519 U.S. 452 (1997).

Today's episode revisits a narrow area of administrative law we last discussed in Episode 266, namely, Auer deference. Andrew made a bold prediction in that episode, and find out where he was wrong -- and where he was right now that the Supreme Court has ruled in Kisor v. Wilkie. We also discuss the recent unsealing of court records thanks to a CNN reporter and we witness the return of listener favorite segment "Are You A Cop?" with a fabulous question about drinking and driving. Buckle up! We begin, however, with a look at a recent request made by CNN's Katelyn Polantz regarding certain court proceedings and records relating to the Mueller Investigation. Does this mean that "BILL BARR KILLED 7 OPEN INVESTIGATIONS?" (No.) But it is significant, and you won't want to miss why. Then, it's time for a deep-dive explainer that starts with a reminder on the principles of agency deference. Don't remember the exact difference between Chevron deference and Auer deference? We've got you covered -- including, in particular, how the latter came under attack in Kisor v. Wilkie, a case involving a retired servicemember challenging the internal agency regulations governing disability pay. Should the courts defer to an agency's interpretation of its own rules, or should it be wildly activist and defer to Neil Gorsuch's interpretation of those rules? Kisor gives us a slightly different answer than you might expect, all while angling us towards the day soon to come in which the Supreme Court greatly expands the power of the judicial branch. After that, it's time for Are You A Cop? featuring some truly terrible advice for how to beat a DUI arrest. (Please do not do this.) We talk about standards of evidence while debunking the notion that you should... drink more when you're pulled over? (It's a weird question.) As if that wasn't enough, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #132 about an escaped, de-fanged, venomous snake. Who's responsible? Listen and find out!

Recent Supreme Court decisions are creating significant changes in the practice of employment law. Hosted by Geoff Probst at the Florida Bar Annual Convention, Kevin Johnson discusses what lawyers need to know about these developments. They highlight recent cases and examine how Kisor vs. Wilkie affects the balance of power between courts and agencies. Later, they briefly discuss employment law developments around the classification of gig economy employees and the impacts of medical marijuana in drug-free workplaces. Kevin D. Johnson is a shareholder of Johnson Jackson LLC and has represented management in labor and employment law matters for 25 years.
Last week, nearly 2 million Hong Kong residents gathered to protest a newly proposed extradition bill. Helen Raleigh, senior writer at the Federalist, joins the show to explain the current extradition agreements held between Hong Kong and China, why so many in Hong Kong are angry about the bill and how the extradition bill, if passed, would threaten Hong Kong's rule of law. After that, Acton's Trey Dimsdale is joined by Anne Rathbone Bradley, affiliate scholar of economics at Acton, and Adam MacLeod, professor of law at Faulkner University. Together, they break down Kisor v. Wilkie, a case currently pending in the Supreme Court. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
A case in which the Court held that Auer v. Robbins, 519 U.S. 452 (1997), and Bowles v. Seminole Rock & Sand Co., 325 U.S. 410 (1945), which direct courts to defer to an agency’s reasonable interpretation of its own ambiguous regulation, are not overruled.
The seventh annual Executive Branch Review Conference took place on May 8, 2019, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC. The luncheon panel was titled "Revisiting Judicial Deference."The Department of Justice position taken in Kisor v. Wilke seems to acknowledge that Auer deference is in jeopardy and is a marked difference in tone from how DOJ has continued to strongly defend executive authority in its arguments and briefing in the lower appellate courts. Historically, two key defenses in this area have been the now-controversial deference doctrines of Chevron (requiring courts to defer to executive agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes they administer) and Auer/Seminole Rock (requiring courts to defer to executive agency interpretations of their own regulations). Is the administration making a strategic retreat in an attempt to protect those doctrines from a Court where a majority of its members have signaled an openness to revisiting them? Or does this reflect a commitment to the judicial use of traditional tools of textual interpretation to overcome ambiguity, reining in agency autonomy, and discouraging congressional delegations of lawmaking authority to agencies? Furthermore, with cert pending in United Parcel Service, Inc. v. Postal Regulatory Commission, thirteen states in amicus arguments see a new opportunity to reconsider Chevron. As Chevron and Auer/ Seminole Rock form significant parts of the superstructure of the modern administrative state, what does this mean for the future of the constitutional balance?* * * * * As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speakers.Featuring:Dr. John Eastman, Henry Salvatori Professor of Law & Community Service and former Dean, Chapman University's Fowler School of Law; Senior Fellow, Claremont InstituteMr. Roman Martinez, Partner, Latham & Watkins LLPProf. David Vladeck, A.B.

Deference is one of those magical words in the world of regulatory policy. Different types of deference play a huge role in how courts and federal agencies interact when it comes to deciding cases, and those cases in turn help shape federal policy on everything from healthcare to financial markets to environmental protection. We say that upfront, because we’re about to dip our toes in the waters of administrative law, that’s the branch of law that deals with how regulations are made, and Chad's the only non-lawyer here at the table. So he reserves the right to interrupt and ask for clarifications as we go. That said, we’re here today to talk about Kisor v. Wilkie, a case currently before the US Supreme Court. On paper, this is a case about the Department of Veterans’ Affairs decision to deny a veteran benefits. James Kisor is the veteran, and Robert Wilkie is the Secretary of the VA. But as with any case before the Supreme Court, more is at stake here than just the people named in the individual case, and here to explain why this case matters and what we know about it so far are two regulatory legal experts. First, we're happy to welcome back to the show Jennifer Huddleston. Jennifer is a scholar here at Mercatus whose work often focuses on the intersection between technology and regulation. She’s been on the Download here before to talk about transportation innovation as well as data privacy. Second, from all the way on the other side of the building, we’re joined by Adam White. Adam is the Executive Director of the C. Boyden Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State here at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School. He’s also a law professor there and wears a handful of other academic and policy hats. Follow Chad on Twitter @ChadMReese. Check out the Bridge for all Mercatus research, all the time. Love the show?

How did a Vietnam War veteran’s request for disability benefits turn into one of the key Supreme Court cases of this term, one with major implications for the future of the administrative state? In this episode, administrative law experts Jonathan Adler of Case Western Law School and Ron Levin of Washington University in St. Louis School of Law explain the issues in this case, Kisor v. Wilkie. They join host Jeffrey Rosen to unpack Kisor and the administrative law deference doctrine, known as “Auer deference,” at the center of the dispute. They also break down other administrative law doctrines like “Chevron” and “Skidmore” deference and the non-delegation doctrine, explaining why they’re so important and at times, controversial.

This week's case covers Kisor v. Wlkie, which specifically questions whether or not Supreme Court precedent that defers to agency interpretations of their own regulations is Constitutional. This case covers admin law in general, when a Court should overturn precedent, and whether or not the Constitution permits delegating such power to un-elected officials. Now, just in case that sounds too serious, the words "The Farts Doctrine" comes up more than once. Law starts at (03:49).
On Wednesday, March 27th, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Kisor v. Wilkie. The Supreme Court granted certiorari in Kisor to decide whether to overrule Bowles v. Seminole Rock & Sand Co., 325 U.S. 410 (1945), and Auer v. Robbins, 519 U.S. 452 (1997). Seminole Rock and Auer are often cited for the proposition that when an administrative agency promulgates a regulation and the regulation is ambiguous, a reviewing court must give “controlling weight” to the agency’s interpretation of the regulation unless the interpretation is plainly erroneous or is inconsistent with the regulation.

Today's classic, deep-dive Tuesday takes an in-depth look at two critical issues in the news: first, the recent effort by the Republican governor and state legislature in Florida to undo the broadly popular Constitutional Amendment passed during the 2018 midterms to restore voting rights to felons who have completed their sentences, and second, the Supreme Court's next assault on the "administrative state," this time, by likely ending the doctrine of Auer deference. We begin with an update about pending oral arguments before the Supreme Court, as well as a notice that this episode was bumped from last Tuesday to make way for our emergency Barr Summary episode. Then, it's time for a deep-dive into Florida, the process of citizen-driven ballot initiatives, and exactly what the state legislature intends to do to undermine the will of the public. After that, it's time for yet another deep dive, this time into Kisor v. Schulkin, which is currently pending before the Supreme Court, in which the petitioners have asked the Court to flat-out overrule yet another well-established conservative doctrine simply on the grounds that the Federalist Society doesn't like it. Then, as always, it's time for the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #120 regarding a light touch on the bus.

On the morning of March 27, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Kisor v. Wilkie. The Supreme Court granted certiorari in Kisor to decide whether to overrule Bowles v. Seminole Rock & Sand Co., 325 U.S. 410 (1945), and Auer v. Robbins, 519 U.S. 452 (1997).

A number of the Court’s members have cast doubt on the soundness of the Seminole Rock/Auer deference doctrine in recent years. Many observers believe that the doctrine’s days are numbered. Importantly, the United States filed a merits brief in Kisor that forcefully criticized Auer/Seminole Rock deference, yet argued that the Court should not overrule Auer and Seminole Rock “in their entirety.” The brief foreshadows what will likely be a memorable oral argument, featuring Paul Hughes of Mayer Brown LLP and Solicitor General Noel Francisco. Hughes represents James Kisor, the Vietnam War veteran who is the petitioner in the case. Kisor is challenging a decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that denied Kisor’s request for retroactive disability benefits connected to his wartime service. Francisco will be defending the VA’s decision.Karen Harned, Andrew Varcoe, and moderator Stephen Vaden will join us on the afternoon of March 27 to discuss that morning’s oral argument in Kisor and its potential implications -- including the implications, if any, for the Chevron deference doctrine that applies to agency interpretations of statutory provisions (set forth in Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837 (1984)). Harned and Varcoe will have attended the oral argument that morning and will be sharing their observations about it.

The preponderance of ambiguously worded regulations from federal agencies – think the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) – will be at the center of a major legal challenge coming March 26 to the nation’s highest court, and you’ll hear the details here during this edition of Monitor Mondays.That’s when Jennifer Gustafson will report our lead story, focusing on the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) taking up the case of Kisor vs. Wilkie (U.S. Marine James Kisor vs. the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs).The dispute is over denied Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. In 1997, SCOTUS ruled that generally, federal courts are required to accept an administrative agency’s interpretation of its own ambiguous relations; this rule today is known as Auer deference.Gustafson is a founding shareholder with The Health Law Partners, representing hospitals, health systems, hospices, home health agencies, physicians, and other healthcare providers and suppliers in an array of legal matters.Other segments on the broadcast include:Monday Focus: LTACH vs. Managed Care: Limiting access of Medicare patients to long-term acute care (LTAC) facilities by health insurance companies; reported on by Marvin Mitchell, the director of case management and social work at San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital, east of Los Angeles.Prime Healthcare: Prime Healthcare Services will pay $65 million to settle a federal whistleblower lawsuit that accused the California hospital chain of Medicare fraud. Famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman, has the latest news on this major story.Hot Topics: Monitor Mondays senior correspondent Nancy Beckley, president and CEO of Nancy Beckley and Associates, returns to report on all the latest hot topics.Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser returns to Monitor Mondays with his popular segment, in which he reports on problematic issues facing providers.Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, maks his Monday Rounds with another installment of his popular segment. Dr. Hirsch will also be following up on his segment last Monday on how to bill for inpatient services when there is no admission order.
