Docket entry
Judgment REVERSED and case REMANDED. No. 25-567, adjudged to be affirmed. Roberts, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Alito, Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Jackson, JJ., joined. Thomas, J., filed a dissenting opinion. VIDED.
Docket entry
Because forfeiture orders issued under 47 U. S. C. §503(b)(4) do not definitively resolve the parties’ legal obligations, and the FCC’s factual findings in its forfeiture proceedings are not conclusive, it does not violate the Seventh Amendment for the FCC to issue forfeiture orders without the involvement of a jury. [608/2]

Judgment Issued.
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; 43 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
