Since the court will not hear the Massachusetts case, Portland’s federal appeal on its median ban could get a quicker ruling.

Anthony Sineni’s first case last week drew national attention because of an unusual ruling by the judge.

The New Hampshire man, a former Army marksman, invaded a Saco home, wounded two people and left a trail of evidence before his arrest, authorities say.

The case remains active a year after Timothy ‘Asti’ Davison of Poland was killed in a road rage shooting.

The Portland Press Herald had defied the order on Tuesday, publishing a story about a hearing that included witness testimony.
