General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Heckler v. Blankenship, 465 U.S. 1301 (1984)
Heckler v. Blankenship No. A-589 Decided January 26, 1984 465 U.S. 1301
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
Syllabus
An application to stay the District Court’s order -- which requires applicant Secretary of Health and Human Services to promulgate regulations imposing nationwide time limits for the adjudication and appeal of Social Security disability benefits claims -- is granted pending the timely filing and subsequent disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari to review the Court of Appeals’ judgment affirming the District Court’s order. At least four Justices would probably vote to grant certiorari here, since the Court has already granted the Secretary’s petition for a writ of certiorari in another case involving judicial imposition of statewide time limits on the disability adjudication and appeal process. Furthermore, the balance of equities clearly weighs in favor of a stay, and prudence dictates that implementation of the District Court’s order await this Court’s decision in the case involving statewide time limits.
