Rule 10. Considerations Governing Review on Certiorari
1702693074
1702693075
Review on a writ of certiorari is not a matter of right, but of judicial discretion. A petition for a writ of certiorari will be granted only for compelling reasons. The following, although neither controlling nor fully measuring the Court’s discretion, indicate the character of the reasons the Court considers:
1702693076
1702693077
(a) a United States court of appeals has entered a decision in confl ict with the decision of another United States court of appeals on the same important matter; has decided an important federal question in a way that confl icts with a decision by a state court of last resort; or has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceedings, or sanctioned such a departure by a lower court, as to call for an exercise of this Court’s supervisory power;
1702693078
1702693079
(b) a state court of last resort has decided an important federal question in a way that confl icts with the decision of another state court of last resort or of a United States court of appeals;
1702693080
1702693081
(c) a state court or a United States court of appeals has decided an important question of federal law that has not been, but should be, settled by this Court, or has decided an important federal question in a way that confl icts with relevant decisions of this Court.
1702693082
1702693083
A petition for a writ of certiorari is rarely granted when the asserted error consists of erroneous factual findings or the misapplication of a properly stated rule of law.
