Docket entry

Judgment VACATED and case REMANDED. Thomas, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Roberts, C. J., and Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, JJ., joined. Jackson, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment. Alito, J., took no part in the decision of the case.

Docket entry

Chevron has plausibly alleged a close relationship between its challenged crude-oil production and the performance of its federal aviation gas refining duties and has therefore satisfied the “relating to” requirement of the federal officer removal statute, 28 U. S. C. §1442(a)(1). [608 U.S. 1]

    This text does not state an outcome in words we recognize. It is shown as written.

Method: an entry is marked with an outcome only when its own text contains the outcome word, and the word is shown beside it. Orders, opinions and judgments whose text does not say are marked Other. Party filings, notices and routine procedural orders (appearances, extra pages, time extensions, scheduling) are not listed; 54 such entries were left out of this case. No link between this case and any other case is recorded in our data, so only this case's own record is shown. Open the court's docket
