What's the percentage of cases where an en banc review is actually granted? I'd imagine it would be pretty low and can't see them convincing enough of the judges to grant the review in a waste of time case like this.

Ha. I guess he thinks it's an effective marketing ploy to his target demographic...

Exactly. At Alta's expense.

Exactly. At Alta's expense.

If there are any circumstances where U.S. courts can awards costs to the prevailing party, this one would have to fit the bill.

Important info for your skiing at Alta

Equipment Allowed (Skis)

Alta Ski Area is for skiers and restricts equipment other than skis (which means skis that have metal edges, retaining devices and are attached to ski boots by bindings) for anyone who wants to ride the lifts and ski the mountain or play around the base areas.

And no appeal to the US Supreme Court. It is a resolved issue.

Indeed. The comments underneath are funny because at least one reader thought it was real and that the alleged employee needed to be fired for racist comments.

Bump.

So just read this. Reminds me of this case.
