United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

• NILSEN, ET AL. V. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, ET AL. (No. 24-7460; filed 2026-08-13) — The court affirmed that the University of Washington is an arm of Washington State and therefore immune from suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for civil rights violations. Former employees terminated for refusing to comply with the university's COVID-19 vaccine mandate could not bring federal civil rights claims against the institution because the state is formally liable for any judgments against it and structured the university as part of itself rather than as a legally independent entity.
• In plain terms The court affirmed the university is immune from federal civil rights lawsuits because it is part of the state.

• SURGICAL INSTRUMENT SERVICE COMPANY, INC. V. INTUITIVE SURGICAL, INC. (No. 25-1372; filed 2026-08-13) — The court reversed a judgment and held that the district court erred in requiring Surgical Instrument Service Company to prove the Kodak/Epic factors in its antitrust claim against Intuitive Surgical. Intuitive holds over 99% market share in minimally invasive surgical robots and 100% market share in compatible robot attachment instruments, and evidence demonstrated it leveraged its foremarket dominance to maintain the aftermarket monopoly through use-limiting counter technology installed in the instruments.
• In plain terms A court reversed a judgment that wrongly required Surgical Instrument Service Company to prove specific legal factors in its antitrust case against Intuitive Surgical, which controls virtually all the surgical robot market and all compatible replacement parts.

BLANCHE (No. 25-557; filed 2026-08-13) — The court denied Gonzalez-Argueta's petition for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals' denial of asylum and withholding of removal, finding he failed to establish the required nexus between persecutory harm and his status as a former Salvadoran police officer. Because all threats from MS-13 gang members occurred while he was an active police officer and no threats have occurred since he left El Salvador, he could not demonstrate future persecution on account of his former officer status.
• In plain terms A court declined to reconsider an asylum denial for Gonzalez-Argueta, finding he failed to show he would face future persecution for his former police service, since MS-13 gang members only threatened him while he was actively serving.

54 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: 13 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.

Roll-call votes the chambers themselves record on 2026-08-14, 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.

What the chambers did with individual measures on 2026-08-14, 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.

No bill actions dated this day were observed.

Source: the Executive Office of the President, as published on whitehouse.gov and observed 2026-08-14. These are the President's own instruments — executive orders, proclamations, memoranda — carried here as the White House published them, days before the Federal Register compiles them into section 3.

Register (GUIDE §2): titles are the publisher's words and appear verbatim; any prose of ours about them is attributed, exactly as it is for agency releases. This section states what the White House published, never whether it was significant.

No presidential actions dated this day were observed. The White House publishes on its own schedule; an action taken today may appear in a later digest, and one dated earlier is counted under PRESACT-EX-01 rather than listed as today's news.

This section is mandatory and appears in every digest, including days with no publications. It accounts for every package observed on this digest day (GUIDE §3, observation-day filing); each package's own date may differ and is stated where it does. "Excluded" always names the mechanical rule; there are no unexplained omissions.

Of the content graphics, 0 were analyzed via vision pass (vision pass not yet implemented) and 2 embedded above; the remainder are viewable in the cited source PDFs.

Verification: any item above can be checked against its source in one click via its govinfo link. Totals in this table are reproducible from the stored extraction records for 2026-08-14.

Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (a8f9821). 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 2026-08-14; 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.
