2016 Term Opinions Relating to Orders
The opinions included here are those written by individual Justices to comment on the summary
disposition of cases by orders. Such an opinion might, for example, dissent from the denial of
certiorari or concur in that denial. The opinions here include those written during
October Term 2016 (October 2, 2016, through October 1, 2017). These opinions were posted here on the day of
their issuance. They will remain posted until the opinions for the entire Term are published in
the bound volumes of the United States Reports. For further information, see Column Header Definitions.
Caution: These electronic opinions may contain computer-generated errors or other
deviations from the official paper versions of the opinions. Moreover, the original version of an
opinion relating to an order is replaced by a paginated version of the opinion
in the preliminary print, and, subsequently, by the final version of the
case in a U.S. Reports bound volume. In case of discrepancies between the print and electronic versions of an
opinion relating to an order, the print version controls.
However, where the electronic version has been designated “revised,” the electronic
version controls to the extent that it differs from the print version with regard to the noted revision.
In case of discrepancies between the initial print version or electronic version of an opinion relating
to an order and any later official version of the opinion—i.e., the preliminary print or bound volume
versions—the later version controls.
