Not yet that I can find. Here's the official Supreme Court web page
for the current term - I didn't see it there:
http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinio...ipopinion.html

It might be there, but they don't give enough information for me to
find it. I guess you'll just have to go to your closest law library
and look it up in the CCH materials by their paragraph number.

I wanted to read the trail of opinions on this case
because the defendant is a part-time tax preparer
who aided and assisted in the preparation of false
tax returns. However, I do not understand the CCH
nomenclature. If Johnny and the Supremes "summarily
vacated and remanded", is there an opinion somewhere?

CCH says this is based on Gall v. United States,
128 S. Ct. 586 (2007) with which I am familiar and
has to do with the latitude of sentencing guidelines
rather than taxes. It appears to me that the current
approach is very pro defendant. In Gall and in Taylor,
the prosecution complained the sentence was too leinent.
I understand the leinency in Gall. I would like to read
the mitigating circumstances in Taylor.

Anyone have cites for Taylor?
