Cooper, 358 U.S. 1 (decided September 12, 1958): in a per curiam decision issued quickly due to the school year beginning, the Court affirms the Circuit Court’s order desegregating Little Rock High School, overriding opposition of the Governor and State Legislature (the full opinion, unanimous, came down on Sept. 29, also 358 U.S. 1)


Collier v. Trump, 2024 WL 4171642 (decided September 12, 2024): Roberts denies stay (though it is not clear what is being stayed); pro se plaintiff was trying to appeal dismissal of her case against Trump alleging “ceditious [sic] conspiracy and contempt of court . . . tied to the January 6 insurrection, to child trafficking and attempted murders of child and mother cases”, according to the District Court’s order, which somehow found this to be a “fantastic or delusional scenario”.  Unfortunately cert was denied and the case went away.
