Yesterday in Hedican v. Walmart Stores East, (Docket No. 21-648, gvr'd 3/21/2022), (Order List), the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari, summarily vacated the judgment below and remanded the case to the Seventh Circuit for further consideration in light of Cameron v. EMW Women’s Surgical Center. In the Walmart case, the 7th Circuit held that accommodating the scheduling need of a Seventh Day Adventist would impose an undue burden on Walmart. After that decision, Edward Hedican, on whose behalf the EEOC had sued, sought to intervene in order to file a petition for certiorari. The Seventh Circuit held that the motion to intervene was untimely. Hedican's petition for certiorari said that it presents identical questions to Cameron.
