Coulter v. Illinois
Headline: Multiple petitions for rehearing denied across numerous listed dockets, leaving prior orders and opinions in those cases unchanged and closing the rehearing process reflected in this text.
Holding:
- Leaves the earlier orders and opinions in the listed dockets unchanged.
- Ends the rehearing process for the listed cases in this printed record.
Summary
Background
The printed page lists many docket numbers and short U.S. Reports citations but does not include full opinions or party names. The only substantive line at the end of the excerpt reads: "Petitions for rehearing denied." From this text alone, we see that a number of requests for the Court to reexamine earlier decisions were presented in these dockets and that the Court recorded denials for those requests. The entry includes multiple page and citation references such as "544 U. S. 1036."
Reasoning
The central practical question presented by this excerpt is whether the Court would grant rehearing for the listed matters. The document plainly records that the Court denied rehearing in the listed dockets. The excerpt gives no explanation, opinion, or legal reasoning for the denials; it functions as an administrative disposition stating the outcome of the rehearing requests.
Real world impact
Because rehearing was denied in the printed entry, the earlier orders, opinions, or citations referenced remain as they are in this record. The denial ends the rehearing process reflected here for those specific dockets. The short, procedural nature of this entry means it does not announce new legal rules or broader changes beyond leaving the existing orders and citations in place.
