The court rejected Byrd's challenges to the statute's constitutionality under the Second Amendment, the district court's restriction on closing argument regarding his fear of police, and the reasonableness of his above-Guidelines sentence. The conviction was constitutional under the nation's historical tradition of firearm restrictions for felons.

• In plain terms Pedro Santacruz's 187-month drug sentence was upheld; his appeals of denied sentence reduction, drug weight attribution, and reasonableness failed.

The district court denied the reduction, finding that the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors did not support a reduction given the seriousness of his cocaine trafficking offense involving 708 kilograms. The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the denial, holding that the district court acted within its discretion in assigning substantial weight to the nature and seriousness of the offense.
• In plain terms A cocaine trafficker's request for a sentence reduction based on a Guidelines amendment was denied because the seriousness of his offense did not warrant one.

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal with prejudice, finding the district court did not abuse its discretion.

The government moved to dismiss the appeal based on an appeal waiver in Messer's plea agreement that he signed and acknowledged understanding during the plea colloquy.

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the conviction, holding that although the jury instruction may have required a higher mental state (knowledge) than the minimum recklessness standard established in Counterman v. Colorado, the error was harmless because it actually required the government to prove more culpable conduct.
• In plain terms Richard Colvin's conviction for transmitting a threatening phone call was upheld despite issues with jury instructions and excluded evidence.

The district court granted summary judgment for Access Point, finding that two full recourse events under the guaranty triggered Everhardt's personal liability: the voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by Houston Borrower and the change in management to DDI without Access Point's consent. The Eleventh Circuit affirmed, holding that the Guaranty did not require an authorized filing and that Georgia law required construction strongly against the guarantor.

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

• Zilkr Cloud Technologies, LLC v. Cisco Systems, Inc. (No. 25-01207; filed 2026-08-26) — The Federal Circuit vacated in part and affirmed in part a Patent Trial and Appeal Board decision holding claims of the '254 patent unpatentable as obvious. The court found that the Board's constructions of "request to provision" and "activate" were overly broad, and that these terms should be limited to adding new services only, not managing existing services. The court remanded for further proceedings consistent with the narrower claim construction.
• In plain terms A patent claim's interpretation was narrowed on appeal because the Board's construction was too broad regarding what services the patent covers.

• USA v. Porter (No. 25-10782; filed 2026-08-26) — The Fifth Circuit affirmed with modification Jordan Porter's revocation of supervised release following the third violation of his 10-year term.

The court found testimony about customary mailing practices provided sufficient foundation for the presumption that Rummans received the notices, which he failed to rebut with evidence beyond his own statement of non-receipt.

The court found the district court's order lacked adequate reasons for the denial and ordered clarification on whether the court ruled on the extraordinary and compelling circumstances requirement, the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors, or both.
• In plain terms A prisoner's compassionate release appeal was remanded because the denial order did not adequately explain the court's reasoning.

• In plain terms Mitchell's conviction for illegal firearm possession was upheld based on a prior conviction for attempting to disarm a police officer.

The Fifth Circuit vacated for resentencing after finding the district court relied on clearly erroneous facts, including the unsupported belief that Palencia-Berrum had bitten his wife during an alleged assault.

• GRENNING V. KEY, ET AL. (No. 23-3018; filed 2026-08-26) — A prisoner's First Amendment claim against prison officials was improperly dismissed at summary judgment when officials refused to allow his story to be submitted to a university literary journal due to its sexual content.

(No. 24-3387; filed 2026-08-26) — A Ninth Circuit panel affirmed the district court's approval of a settlement in a class action alleging Google violated users' privacy by tracking location after users disabled the "Location History" feature. The settlement provided for injunctive relief and a $62 million fund distributed to cy pres recipients (charitable organizations addressing privacy concerns) rather than directly to the approximately 247.7 million class members, as direct distribution would have been infeasible with de minimis individual payouts. The panel rejected objectors' challenges to the cy pres-only approach and the district court's fairness determination.
• In plain terms Google was found to have tracked users' locations despite them disabling the 'Location History' feature; a court approved a $62 million settlement going to charities rather than individual class members because individual payouts would be too small.

The Seventh Circuit affirmed, finding that Indiana's robbery statute requires the prosecution to prove force directed at another person, which matches the federal definition of a crime of violence.
• In plain terms Gamez challenged his 100-month sentence based on whether prior robbery convictions count as violent crimes, and the Seventh Circuit upheld that they meet the federal definition.

The health fund challenged the rule as preempted by ERISA, and the Seventh Circuit affirmed dismissal, holding ERISA does not preempt the dispensing fee requirement as a cost regulation or the reporting requirement as an incidental obligation.

CIR (No. 25-09002; filed 2026-08-26) — William Smith Veazey filed actions in Tax Court for multiple tax years alleging deficiency challenges and whistleblower award disputes, but the IRS had not issued the required notice of deficiency or made a whistleblower award determination.

• Harmez v. Blanche (No. 25-09546; filed 2026-08-26) — The Tenth Circuit affirmed the Board of Immigration Appeals' denial of Morees Harmez's fifth motion to reopen his removal proceedings.

The court found that the evidence did not demonstrate a material change in country conditions since his first motion in 2017, and that Harmez failed to establish a prima facie case for Convention Against Torture protection.
• In plain terms The court denied a permanent resident's fifth attempt to reopen removal proceedings based on a drug conviction, finding no material change in country conditions and no basis for torture protection.

The Third Circuit affirmed the dismissal of fiduciary-duty claims but vacated the dismissal of breach-of-contract claims, remanding for further proceedings.

68 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 2026-08-27, 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 2026-08-27, 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 2026-08-27. 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.

2 action(s) below arrived through both whitehouse.gov feeds; each is listed once and marked corroborated, with every observation preserved.

9.1 Executive Orders

• Honoring the American History of the Great Lakes and Renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America (opens in a new tab) — An executive order issued August 27, 2026, directs the Secretary of the Interior to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America within 30 days.

The order requires updates to federal geographic naming systems and removal of Lake Ontario references from federal documents and maps.

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.

Sync summary: BILLS: completed 2026-08-28T04:08:22Z · CREC: completed 2026-08-28T04:08:21Z · FR: completed 2026-08-28T04:08:23Z · PLAW: completed 2026-08-28T04:44:26Z · USCOURTS: completed 2026-08-28T04:08:24Z; last watermarks as listed in the header.

Exclusion rules applied today:

• FR-EX-01: notices counted, not individually summarized — 71 item(s)
• USCOURTS-EX-01: district court opinions counted, not individually summarized — 1091 item(s)
• USCOURTS-EX-02: bankruptcy court opinions counted, not individually summarized — 3 item(s)
• AGENCYPR-EX-01: release dated outside this day by the agency (feed backfill / newly activated source) — counted, not listed — 13 item(s)

Source graphics: 6 graphic(s) flagged across today's documents: 6 content graphic(s) (equations, forms, maps, annex pages) and 0 boilerplate (signatures/seals, excluded by rule FR-GPH-01). Of the content graphics, 0 were analyzed via vision pass (vision pass not yet implemented) and 0 embedded above; the remainder are viewable in the cited source PDFs.

Known gaps: 331 package(s) were not fetched and are not covered above; courts post opinions with delay; opinions filed on this date may appear in later syncs.

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 2026-08-27.

Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (999919c). 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 2026-08-27; no upstream re-fetch is required (GUIDE.md §5).

Inference (GUIDE §6 r15, standing): The pipeline finalizes every publication day with or without an inference provider. Model layers are additive. When no inference was available for a day, the digest states that fact in its own prose and nothing more; the cause is operational detail recorded in the day's provenance and operations report, not in the published digest. The Coverage Statement's arithmetic reconciles regardless. Items are listed with their citations whether or not they were summarized. A day finalized without model layers is frozen like any other day; prose is not backfilled into a frozen digest.

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.
