“A recent research paper published in the Law and Society Review found that the petitions arriving over the summer had a 16 percent worse chance of being accepted by the Court. The three researchers believed the reluctance of new clerks to recommend cases was part of the reason for the lower acceptance rate. The New York Times’ Adam Liptak wrote in August about how seasoned attorneys try to avoid having their petitions on the long-conference calendar. Liptak spoke with Gregory Garre, a former solicitor in the George W. Bush administration, about the long conference’s reputation. ‘Given the numbers, as counsel, you really have to try your best to avoid the summer list, though sometimes it is unavoidable,’ Garre said. ‘Fortunately, as tough as the odds are, the cream can still rise to the top.'”

Maybe it was a good thing Cynthia Rapp and the others tried to prevent my pleadings from being submitted…Either way, it doesn’t change the fact that their actions constitute a deliberate obstruction of justice.
