Ping.
The docket shows the opposite: the main Berg case has now been scheduled for conference on January 9th, not denied. What was denied were two other motions (08A391, 08A505) under the main case (08-570).

Ok .. which of the items of the matter set out in the docket list above are the ‘main case’ for which hearing is scheduled on Jan. 9?
Dont get your hopes up...per the Supreme court website
If a Justice acts alone to deny an application, a petitioner may reapply to any other Justice of his or her choice, and theoretically can continue until
a majority of the Court has denied the application.
In practice, applications usually are referred
to the full Court by the second Justice to avoid such a prolonged procedure

Whenever an applcation is resubmitted to a second justice it is scheduled for conference. It does not mean the case does or does not have merit...only that it has been submitted twice.... Sending it to conference prevents a persistant applicant from submiting to 5 different justices.
