Kearny asks SCOTUS for Writ on Keegan case By Ron Leir Special to The Observer
I
t may only be a dumping ground for construction debris and certain types of wastes but its possessive owner is as loathe to give it up as if there were gold in them thar hills. In what amounts to a last-ditch effort to hold
onto a 110-acre parcel at Bergen Avenue and Newark-Jersey City Turnpike known as the Keegan landfill, the Town of Kearny is pinning its hopes on the highest court in the land. On June 6, Town Attorney James P. Bruno filed a 66-page petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court asking the federal justices to review the town’s case.
Adam Feldman, a Columbia University law professor who writes a blog about SCOTUS, said the Court “annually grants approximately 5% of the petitions to hear cases it receives.” Based on that, Feldman figures Kearny’s chances for a hearing were “unlikely.”
