In Royal Canin U.S.A., Inc. v. Wullschleger (No. 23-677), the Supreme Court resolved a jurisdictional dog fight over dog food.

Before the Thanksgiving holiday, the Court issued its first “decision” in one of the 46 cases (so far) that make up its OT24 term. But just like last year, this year’s first decision was more of a decision not to decide: In Facebook, Inc. v.
