The U.S. Supreme Court announced it would not grant review for any new cases, including significant challenges related to election law and transgender rights. The Court declined to hear a challenge to a voter-approved measure in Alaska that mandates greater public disclosure of political donations. Additionally, it refused to review a Fourth Circuit ruling that paused West Virginia's law prohibiting transgender students from competing on sports teams aligned with their gender identity. The Supreme Court also rejected an appeal from a South Carolina state agency regarding a Fourth Circuit decision that required compliance with a Google subpoena in an antitrust case. Furthermore, the Court declined to reconsider a ruling that invalidated a patent held by Return Mail Inc. at the request of the U.S. Postal Service, which has raised concerns about uncertainty in intellectual property law. Legal analysts are closely monitoring these developments as the Court prepares to release opinions on November 22.
