Panel That Day
3 of 4 cases argued January 28, 2026 before this panel have been decided.
With the 3 decided siblings already credited to Judge Heytens, Judge Agee and Judge King are the remaining candidates — and their records are too close to call (81 of 112 vs. 77 of 116 prior multi-case days with at least one opinion).
3 of the 4 opinions from this panel have been decided. Decided opinions have been authored by Judge Heytens.
This is a statistical guess based on prior sittings in this dataset, not a prediction of the ruling.
