Update: "Our readers are correct. The Supreme Court did not grant certiorari in the case."
"Today I spoke with Patricia McCabe Estrada, Deputy Director of Public Information at the United States Supreme Court. She informed me that Mr. Donofrio’s application was first referred to the full Court by Justice Clarence Thomas on November 19, 2008. After that referral took place the full Court, and not Justice Thomas alone, distributed the application for an emergency stay for Conference of December 5, 2008.
"Let me reiterate the main point: DONOFRIO V. WELLS was distributed for conference of December 5, 2008 by the full Court after a prior referral of the application by Justice Thomas."
The Orders for Today --- at least that I can find -- show two:

They are listed as miscellaneous from a link:

Otherwise, I've heard nothing more about the closed conference today. One blogger says Leo's case was denied, but I'd like to know how he knows?
