I've noticed a quirk on the Supreme Court's docket. Often, an order from a Justice will be entered before the notation for reply briefs, even though the reply briefs were filed before the order.
Such is the case with Hoskins v. Von Glahn, which concerned Missouri's congressional maps.
The reply briefs were filed in the early hours of Tuesday, September 8. Then, around 6:00 in the evening, Circuit Justice Kavanaugh denied the order in chambers. Yet, on the docket, Kavanaugh's order appears before the reply briefs.
