Petition Denied or Appeal Dismissed
Questions presented: Whether the Supreme Court of Guam erred in interpreting the phrase "aggregate tax valuation" in the Guam Organic Act's debt-limitation provision, 48 USC Sec. 1423a (emphasis added), as tying the limit on borrowing by the Guam territorial government to the full value of property on Guam rather than to assessed value for the purposes of taxation.
Whether the time for filing a petition for writ of certiorari was tolled while a petition for writ of certiorari or writ of certiorari with respect to the same judgment was pending before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals?
