The actual text of the order of the Court:

05-118 BERETTA U.S.A. CORP., ET AL. V. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, ET AL.

The motion of petitioners to defer consideration of the petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. The Chief Justice took no part in the consideration or decision of this motion and this petition.

Interesting...although I believe it is not necessary for the entire Court to consider all petitions. It could very well have been some of the more liberal members blocking action.

This says that the Chief Justice was in no way involved. Still can't find who voted of how the decision was made. But why wasn't the Chief involved?
