DOJ Asks For Stay In Comprehensive Drug Testing Case:
The AP reports on the latest update in the Comprehensive Drug Testing case:
  Federal prosecutors have asked an appeals court to stay its decision that government agents illegally seized the drug testing records and samples of more than 100 baseball players.
  The move could keep baseball's infamous drug list from being destroyed for at least a few months.
  In a filing late Monday with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. attorney's office in San Francisco said the Solicitor General, in consultation with the criminal division of the Justice Department and the U.S. attorney's office, was considering whether to ask the Supreme Court to review the decision.
  The deadline for a filing with the Supreme Court is Nov. 24.
Nothing very surprising here, as this appears to be just a stay while the DOJ bigwigs figure out what to do next. Even outside the possibility of Supreme court review, trying to implement this decision would presumably require considerable restructuring of computer forensics practices throughout the Ninth Circuit if not the entire country. That would take time to try to do.
