Uhhh, don't count on it being over, apparently the Court is willing to extend the deadline!Docket No, it's just standard procedure. All the court is saying is that NFSR will hear from them on whether they will get a rehearing by November 1 -- in about two months from now. The answer will be no anyway.

This is just standard procedure and nothing to be alarmed for. Nothing is being extended. All NFSR is being told is that they will be told (with almost absolute certainty) no by November 1 that they won't get a rehearing. Construction and track installation will continue normally between now and then and afterward. NFSR can then go to US Supreme Court on November 1 if they like. US Supreme Court won't take their case and even if they did, the line would be open by then.

So does this mean that track can still be installed across the grade crossings?

So does this mean that track can still be installed across the grade crossings? Yes, that's only governed by CPUC and they've already given a final OK for it.

Yes, all doors in California are closed to NFSR now.
They can and likely will go to the US Supreme Court now.
If the US Supreme Court ignores them, they may try going to Mr. Vladimir Putin.

This may finally serve to clue the nimby's into the fact that Metro is following the rules, and no technicalities will stop the rail build out. Maybe even the knuckleheads in Beverly Hills will figure it out and save some money. They can use it to move to a "nicer" area that isn't getting "destroyed" by the subway.

Would the US Supreme Court hear the case? CEQA is a California Law. Expo Phase II is funded by the state and local government funding, with no federal funding. So why would the US Supreme Court hear this case?

The funding argument is the reason why this case was fought in state courts. However, they can always claim that the state supreme court has violated the US constitution. US Supreme Court agrees to hear about two-dozen appeals from state supreme courts every year.
Nevertheless, as I suggested earlier, they have a much better chance if they take their case to Mr. Vladimir Putin.
