Unlike the Congressional Record and the Federal Register, which are the complete official record of their branches, USCOURTS is participation-based and is NOT the complete federal judicial record. Courts post opinions with delay — typically over several days — so a day's digest carries the opinions that became available that day, whatever date each was issued.

• US v. Kelly Hartman (No. 26-04055; filed 2026-09-02) — The Fourth Circuit affirmed a district court's revocation of Kelly Christine Hartman's supervised release and 12-month sentence imposed in January 2026. Hartman appealed, arguing that the district court impermissibly relied on retributive sentencing factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2)(A) when considering her lack of candor and failure to appear. The court concluded that even if retributive factors were considered, no clear error occurred because the district court focused on her supervised release violations rather than her underlying conviction.
• In plain terms A 12-month sentence revoking supervised release was upheld despite arguments about which sentencing factors the judge considered.

United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

• URIAS-GAXIOLA V. BLANCHE (No. 22-1474; filed 2026-09-02) — Urias-Gaxiola's attorney admitted in immigration removal proceedings that he entered the United States without inspection and parole, but Urias-Gaxiola later sought to withdraw this admission and move to amend his pleading, claiming he had entered lawfully with a visa. The immigration judge denied the amendment motion without allowing Urias-Gaxiola to testify, and the Board of Immigration Appeals upheld the denial. The Ninth Circuit held that the BIA abused its discretion by refusing to permit Urias-Gaxiola to present evidence supporting the amendment and remanded for the immigration judge to hear testimony to determine whether the admission could be withdrawn.
• In plain terms The Ninth Circuit reversed a decision refusing an immigrant the chance to change his admission about how he entered the country, ruling he must be allowed to testify.

The court rejected the defendant's argument that a second competency evaluation was required after he reported experiencing ongoing auditory and visual hallucinations during a jury-trial waiver hearing, finding the district court's prior competency determination and colloquy with the defendant established his competency.

The court found the prisoner's evidence insufficient to establish that the named officers made such statements or exploited a known vulnerability, and concluded his general allegations of harassment did not survive summary judgment without specific supporting evidence.
• In plain terms James Kruger, a prisoner, sued correctional officers for psychological cruelty, but the court dismissed the case on summary judgment.

• In plain terms Mohamed Haroun sued private attorneys and doctors for allegedly coercing him into a settlement, but the court dismissed for lack of a state conspiracy.

• In plain terms Syris Birkley challenged a jail's practice of scanning and keeping copies of detainees' mail, but the court upheld it for security reasons.

The magistrate judge dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim, finding the symptoms did not suggest an obvious medical emergency requiring immediate treatment. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, concluding that Padilla could not state a viable Eighth Amendment claim even with additional factual allegations.

United States (No. 1:24-cv-00190; filed 2026-09-01) — The U.S. Court of International Trade granted motions filed by Korean steel companies and the Government of South Korea challenging a Department of Commerce determination that a Korean electricity program provided by KEPCO constituted a countervailable subsidy to the steel industry.

• In plain terms A federal court found that Commerce Department did not have sufficient evidence that South Korea's electricity program provided below-market rates specifically to its steel industry, citing use of outdated cost data, and ordered reconsideration.

63 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: 8 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 2026-09-03, 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 2026-09-03, 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 2026-09-03. 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.

Sync summary: BILLS: completed 2026-09-04T04:04:35Z · CREC: completed 2026-09-04T04:04:34Z · FR: completed 2026-09-04T04:04:36Z · PLAW: completed 2026-09-04T04:39:33Z · USCOURTS: completed 2026-09-04T04:04:37Z; last watermarks as listed in the header.

Source graphics: 1 graphic(s) flagged across today's documents: 0 content graphic(s) (equations, forms, maps, annex pages) and 1 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: 77 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 2026-09-03.

Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (8c9fa1d). 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 2026-09-03; 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.
