Question

Sophia should feel happy as the denial of the writ of certiorari means the Supreme Court will not hear her tax case.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The denial of the writ of certiorari by the Supreme Court does not mean the Court will hear Sophia's tax case.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False. Sophia should not feel happy as the denial of the writ of certiorari by the Supreme Court means that the Court has decided not to hear her tax case. When the Court denies certiorari, it does not make a decision on the merits of the case, but rather it lets the lower court's decision stand. Sophia may have wanted the Supreme Court to review and potentially overturn the lower court's decision, but now that certiorari has been denied, she will have to accept the outcome of the lower court's ruling.
