Arguing Counsel

Panel That Day

2 of 3 cases argued September 19, 2023 before this panel have been decided.

Authorship Outlook

With the 2 decided siblings already credited to Judge Agee and Judge Thacker, the remaining opinion is most likely Judge Wynn's — they wrote at least one opinion in 82 of their 108 prior multi-case days.

2 of the 3 opinions from this panel have been decided. Decided opinions have been authored by Judge Agee and Judge Thacker.

This is a statistical guess based on prior sittings in this dataset, not a prediction of the ruling.

Predicted Opinion Release

Likely between November 30, 2026 and July 17, 2030, with June 30, 2027 the most likely date.

Argued 1135 days ago. The case has now outlasted nearly every comparable prior case (100% of mass consumed); a separate writing or a contentious majority is likely in progress.
