Nebraska District Court Judge Peter Bataillon of Omaha, Nebraska, was invited to sit with the Nebraska Supreme Court on March 1, 2022.

Bataillon heard arguments in the case of Tegra Corporation v. Boeshart, S-21-0547 which is an appeal from the district court’s acceptance and enforcement of a special litigation committee determination made under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 21-168.

He sat in place of Chief Justice Mike Heavican, who was recused from the case. The Court session was held in the Supreme Court Courtroom of the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln.

Seven justices make up the Nebraska Supreme Court: Chief Justice Heavican and six associate justices. On occasion, a justice must recuse him or herself from a case, and a judge from a district court or the Court of Appeals is asked to sit with the Supreme Court.    

The March 1, 2022, oral arguments can be viewed on the Court’s archive.
