Earlier this week the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal in the Jesse James Hollywood case that is the basis for "Alpha Dog" which stars Justin Timberlake among others.

The California Supreme Court previously ruled a Santa Barbara County prosecutor might have had inappropriate conduct to allow Nick Cassavetes, the writer and director, access for case files where the accused could not receive a fair trial.

Here are the people:
