Panel That Day
2 of 3 cases argued December 9, 2025 before this panel have been decided.
With the 2 decided siblings already credited to Judge Gibney*, Judge Benjamin and Judge Berner are the remaining candidates — and their records are too close to call (33 of 53 vs. 23 of 39 prior multi-case days with at least one opinion).
2 of the 3 opinions from this panel have been decided. Decided opinions have been authored by Judge Gibney*.
This is a statistical guess based on prior sittings in this dataset, not a prediction of the ruling.
