the USA is broken up into 9 regions, appeals to the Supreme court first go to the Supreme that administrates that region. Should that justice deny the appeal that's it. No appeal, there might be another route to the Supreme Court, I am not an expert but Kennedy administrates the region that contains Fla and he denied the appeal I do not know if the entire court voted on the merits of the appeal, but I do know that if they did then only four votes are needed (not a majority) to take the appeal.
Hopefully someone with more then a lay knowledge will correct any mistakes I may have in my understanding of the appeal process.
yes and no it doesn't, it says
and by him refered to the court is denied.
