The court held that Illinois law recognizes a narrow exception to an insurer's right to control its insured's defense only when there are serious, actual conflicts of interest between the parties, and no such conflict existed in this case.
- In plain terms An appeals court said an insurance company doesn't have to pay for separate lawyers unless there's a serious conflict of interest between the company and the insured party, which didn't happen here.

- USA v. Miguel A. Morales-Garcia (No. 25-01199; filed 2026-08-05) — The Seventh Circuit affirmed the conviction of Miguel A. Morales-Garcia for cocaine trafficking charges despite finding that the district court improperly admitted evidence of a prior heroin sale discussion under Federal Rule of Evidence 404(b). The court determined the evidentiary error was harmless because overwhelming evidence of guilt existed, and the prosecutor's rebuttal comments did not implicate Fifth Amendment rights.
- In plain terms A cocaine trafficking conviction was upheld even though the trial court wrongly allowed evidence of a prior heroin discussion, because other evidence clearly proved guilt.

- Consolidated Chassis Management LLC, et al v. Northland Insurance Company (No. 25-01285; filed 2026-08-05) — The Seventh Circuit affirmed in part and reversed in part a district court judgment regarding insurance defense following a 2016 traffic accident. After Consolidated Chassis Management retained its own counsel against its insurer Northland's wishes and sought reimbursement, the appellate court determined that Illinois law provides an exception to insurer control of defense only where serious, actual conflicts of interest exist—none of which arose here. The court held that Northland fulfilled its duty to defend and neither breached its contract nor violated the Illinois Insurance Code.
- In plain terms An appeals court said an insurance company fulfilled its duty to defend a client after a 2016 traffic accident and didn't have to pay for separate lawyers, since no serious conflict existed.

- USA v. Shawn Pena (No. 25-01691; filed 2026-08-05) — The Seventh Circuit affirmed Shawn Pena's 24-month revocation sentence for violating multiple conditions of supervised release, including unauthorized arrests, failure to report his address, and fleeing police. Although the defendant and government jointly recommended 14 months, the district court imposed 24 months based on the defendant's criminal history and assessed risk to the community. The appellate court vacated one supervised release condition as unconstitutionally vague and remanded for clarification.
- In plain terms A 24-month prison sentence for supervised release violations was upheld; one condition was struck down as too vague and must be clarified.

- Arthur Simmons, Jr. v. Gundersen Health System, et al (No. 25-01826; filed 2026-08-05) — The Seventh Circuit affirmed dismissal of Arthur Simmons's civil rights claim arising from a fall during a medical visit while in custody. Simmons alleged that correctional officers and the medical clinic violated the Eighth Amendment by failing to prevent his fall when his leg restraints became entangled in an examination chair, but the court determined his allegations described negligence rather than the deliberate indifference required to state a constitutional claim.
- In plain terms A court dismissed a civil rights case about a fall during medical care in custody, finding the claim described negligence rather than deliberate indifference.

- Elizabeth Schulte v. Kenneth Leners, et al (No. 25-01856; filed 2026-08-05) — The Seventh Circuit held that a town official was not entitled to qualified immunity when he selectively deleted public comments on the town's website based on commenters' disagreement with his views on recreational-vehicle regulations. The court ruled that the principle forbidding viewpoint discrimination in government-hosted speech forums is clearly established constitutional law applicable to online comment sections, and that the official could not reasonably have believed his conduct lawful.
- In plain terms A town official can be sued for deleting public comments from the town's website when commenters disagreed with his views on recreational-vehicle rules, because the government cannot penalize people based on their opinions.

(No. 25-02776; filed 2026-08-05) — The Seventh Circuit affirmed dismissal of Hector Arevalo-Carrasco's disability discrimination claim against Ludlow Manufacturing, his former employer. Arevalo was terminated in December 2021 after taking disability leave following open heart surgery and filed his EEOC charge in October 2023, nearly two years later and exceeding the 300-day filing window required by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
- In plain terms A disability discrimination case was dismissed because the complaint was filed nearly two years after termination, exceeding the 300-day legal deadline.

City of Madison, Indiana (No. 25-03131; filed 2026-08-05) — The Seventh Circuit affirmed summary judgment for the City of Madison and Jefferson County in a dispute over water service to a new county jail. Dupont Water Company, a rural water association holding USDA loans that grants certain monopoly protections under 7 U.S.C. § 1926(b), sued after Madison supplied water to the jail, but the court held that Dupont had not 'provided or made available' water service as required to invoke its statutory protections, lacking necessary infrastructure and failing to provide a price quote despite months of negotiation.
- In plain terms A rural water company's lawsuit against a city over jail water service was dismissed because the company didn't provide necessary infrastructure or pricing despite months of negotiation.

United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
- Travis Kotke v. Andrew Ager (No. 25-01936; filed 2026-08-05) — Travis Kotke called 911 reporting a domestic disturbance, but responding Michigan state troopers determined Kotke was the aggressor and placed him under arrest. When Kotke refused to release his four-year-old son during the arrest, trooper Andrew Ager used an arm-bar takedown that resulted in injuries. The Sixth Circuit affirmed the denial of qualified immunity on Kotke's excessive-force claim, holding that the right to be free from such a takedown while passively resisting arrest was clearly established.
- In plain terms The court upheld a civil rights suit against trooper Ager for using an arm-bar takedown on Kotke during arrest, finding the right to be free from such force was clearly established.

The Sixth Circuit affirmed summary judgment for the defendants, holding that Title IX protects only persons within the United States and that sovereign and qualified immunity bar his equal-protection claims.
- In plain terms The court upheld dismissal of Charlton-Perkins's discrimination suit, finding Title IX doesn't protect people outside the US and government immunity applies.

Applying recent Supreme Court precedent holding that the 30-day removal deadline under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b)(1) cannot be equitably tolled, the court found the defendant's removal more than six years after the original complaint was untimely and remanded the case to state court.
- In plain terms A federal appeals court said a defendant waited too long (over six years) to move the case to federal court, so it must go back to state court.

- Marion Sinclair, et al v. Andrew Meisner, et al (No. 26-01061; filed 2026-08-05) — The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated and remanded a district court's award of $1,361,476.51 in attorney fees to plaintiffs' counsel in takings-clause litigation against Oakland County, finding the requested award of over $4.2 million based on 4,800 claimed billable hours was excessively padded and unreasonable. The court identified 573 hours spent pursuing a failed class-certification motion as categorically non-compensable, since such work benefits unrepresented future class members rather than the actual plaintiffs, and found the billing records contained widespread improper entries that rendered large portions unreliable.
- In plain terms The Sixth Circuit vacated attorney fees in a takings-clause case against Oakland County, finding 4,800 claimed hours unreasonable; 573 hours for a failed class-certification motion were non-compensable, and billing records contained improper entries.

46 release(s) above arrived through more than one ingestion channel and are each listed once, marked "Corroborated" in place. Every arrival is captured, hashed, and counted in the Coverage Statement — the merge is presentation, not omission.
Also observed this day, not listed above: 24 release(s) the agencies date on other days (feed backfill from newly activated sources). Excluded under AGENCYPR-EX-01; counted in the Coverage Statement; captures preserved.
7. Recorded Votes
Roll-call votes the chambers themselves record on 2026-08-06, in vote-number order. Every recorded vote in the window is listed: selection is by existence, not by importance, and no rule here prefers one question over another. Tallies and member positions come from the chamber's own published vote record, captured and hashed like every other source. This is the chambers' vote record itself; section 1.3 lists the Congressional Record granules in which votes were printed.
No recorded votes dated this day were observed.
8. Bill Actions
What the chambers did with individual measures on 2026-08-06, as the Library of Congress's own bill-status record states it. Every action in the ingestion window is listed, in bill-designation order: selection is by existence, not by importance, and no rule here prefers one measure over another. Section 2 lists the text of bills published this day; this section lists what happened to them.
Publication lag: the record dates an action by the day the chamber took it and publishes it the following morning, so this section fills in after the day it describes has ended — the same lag the judicial section carries, and it is restated under Known gaps.

9. Presidential Actions
Source: the Executive Office of the President, as published on whitehouse.gov and observed 2026-08-06.

Methodology
Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (50095fc). Editorial principles — primary sources only, opinion-agnostic prose, mechanical party-blind selection, full coverage accounting — are defined in GUIDE.md §2. Ruleset in effect: prompt version 2; plain-language version 2. To reproduce this digest: re-run the report stage against the extracted records for 2026-08-06; no upstream re-fetch is required (GUIDE.md §5).
Filing note (2026-08-06, standing): digests from 2026-08-06 file govinfo packages under their day of first observation — FAPD's three clocks are explained in the FAQ. The Federal Register files under its cover date, on which it is legally published. Digests before 2026-08-06 filed by each document's own date; the two Congressional Record issues observed 2026-08-04/05 (proceedings of 08-03/08-04) fell between the freeze and this change and appear in no digest — disclosed here, not backfilled.
"In plain terms" lines are model-generated restatements of the stored summaries, derived only from the summary text shown beside them; items without one had no usable restatement. ALL-CAPS source headings are case-normalized for display; original casing is preserved at the source link. Term definitions above are static, repo-versioned prose.
