The court states that the motion was filed more than 90 days after the removal order became final, and that changes in personal circumstances, including deferred action, employment authorization, and a pending U visa application, do not qualify under the changed country conditions exception in 8 U.S.C. 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii). The court further holds that the Board did not abuse its discretion, that Patel did not show the substantial prejudice required for a due process claim, and that it lacks jurisdiction to review the Board's refusal to reopen sua sponte. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit denied in part and dismissed in part Toral Patel's petition against a denial of reopening her removal case, which was filed more than 90 days after the removal order became final. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-25-13936 / USCOURTS-ca11-25-13936-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13936/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13936-0) - **USA v.

The court holds that Durdley invited any error in the district court's classification of his underlying offense as a Tier II offense under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, and that the sentences were neither procedurally nor substantively unreasonable. The opinion also denies Durdley's motion for judicial notice of sentencing transcripts from unrelated cases. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit affirmed Octavius Durdley's sentences: 72 months for failing to register as a sex offender, a sentence above the 21-to-27-month guideline range, and 14 months for violating supervised release. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-25-13945 / USCOURTS-ca11-25-13945-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13945/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13945-0) - **USA v.

The court held that neither retroactive provision of Amendment 821 lowered the defendant's guideline range, because he received no status points and had six criminal history points, which precluded the zero-point offender reduction. The court did not reach the government's timeliness arguments because the district court's rulings were correct as a matter of law. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit affirmed denials of Yovanny Severino's pro se sentence-reduction and reconsideration motions, finding Amendment 821 did not lower his guideline range with six criminal history points and no status points. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-25-13996 / USCOURTS-ca11-25-13996-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13996/USCOURTS-ca11-25-13996-0) - **USA v.

Smith (No. 25-14413), affirmed the conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and the denial of a motion to suppress evidence from a warrantless vehicle search. The defendant argued for the first time on appeal that, under recent changes to Florida marijuana law, the odor of marijuana alone cannot establish probable cause, and the court reviewed that new theory for plain error. The court held that binding circuit precedent in United States v. Tobin and United States v. Harden treats the smell of marijuana alone as establishing probable cause, so no plain error occurred. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit affirmed Ronald Smith Jr.'s conviction for firearm possession by a convicted felon and denial of suppression for a warrantless vehicle search, ruling that binding precedent treats marijuana odor alone as probable cause. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-25-14413 / USCOURTS-ca11-25-14413-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-25-14413/USCOURTS-ca11-25-14413-0) - **USA v.

The court found the appeal waiver in the plea agreement enforceable because the record showed the defendant understood the waiver through the magistrate judge's Rule 11 colloquy and the signed agreement, and applied the standard in Hunter v. United States. The court concluded that the defendant's challenges to the guideline calculation and sentence reasonableness fell within the waiver and did not present a miscarriage of justice. - *In plain terms:* The Eleventh Circuit dismissed Brian Guice's appeal of a 174-month sentence for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon and enforced the plea agreement's waiver of appeal rights because the record showed he understood it. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca11-26-11155 / USCOURTS-ca11-26-11155-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca11-26-11155/USCOURTS-ca11-26-11155-0) #### United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit - **Polich v.

Collins (No. 2025-1299), dismissed an appeal from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims concerning a disability rating for traumatic brain injury and PTSD. The court held that the claimant's arguments challenged factual findings and the application of law to fact, which fall outside its jurisdiction under 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2). The court also stated that the Board of Veterans' Appeals did not make the finding the claimant attributed to it, and that the disagreement over the diagnostic code selection is not reviewable. - *In plain terms:* The Federal Circuit dismissed Polich's appeal from the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims over a traumatic brain injury and PTSD disability rating, because the arguments challenged factual findings outside its jurisdiction. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca13-25-01299 / USCOURTS-ca13-25-01299-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca13-25-01299/USCOURTS-ca13-25-01299-0) - **BT Americas, Inc. v.

The court held that substantial evidence supported the Board's findings that the Duvall and Chu references teach dynamic modification of a probe's analysis capability, that a skilled artisan would have been motivated to combine them, and that the claimed analysis at a secure operations center was identified. The court also held, following Apple Inc. v. Gesture Technology Partners, that the Board had jurisdiction over a patent that expired before the petition was filed. - *In plain terms:* The Federal Circuit affirmed a Patent Trial and Appeal Board decision finding claims 1-25 of U.S. Patent No. 7,895,641 unpatentable as obvious, and held the Board had jurisdiction over an expired patent. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca13-25-01572 / USCOURTS-ca13-25-01572-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca13-25-01572/USCOURTS-ca13-25-01572-0) #### United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - **USA v. Harris** (No. 25-60017; filed 2025-12-24) — In an unpublished per curiam opinion dated December 24, 2025, the Fifth Circuit considered the government's motion to dismiss the appeal of Rashon Jermaine Harris, who challenged a 240-month sentence and three years of supervised release imposed after a guilty plea to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. The court held that the plea agreement's appeal waiver was knowing and voluntary and applied to the appeal, and it found the challenges foreclosed by circuit precedent, including the majority opinion in United States v. Melancon. The government's motion to dismiss was granted, its alternative motion for summary affirmance was denied, and the appeal was dismissed. - *In plain terms:* In a December 24, 2025 opinion, the Fifth Circuit dismissed Rashon Jermaine Harris's appeal of a 240-month sentence for possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute, enforcing his plea agreement's waiver of appeal rights. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-25-60017 / USCOURTS-ca5-25-60017-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-25-60017/USCOURTS-ca5-25-60017-0) - **USA v.

United States (2026), which holds that an appeal waiver is unenforceable when enforcing it would result in a miscarriage of justice. The court found that the appeal waiver was knowing and voluntary, that the same-day timing of the guilty plea did not undermine it, and that application of the U.S.S.G. § 3C1.2 enhancement did not constitute a miscarriage of justice, noting that standard-fare sentencing errors cannot cancel an appeal waiver. The court enforced the appeal waiver and dismissed the appeal. - *In plain terms:* On remand from the Supreme Court, the Fifth Circuit's October 29, 2026 opinion applied Hunter v.

The court held that the indictment established probable cause, so a preliminary hearing was not required under Gerstein v. Pugh, and it found no clear error in the district court's application of three two-level enhancements under U.S.S.G. §§ 2D1.1(b)(1), 2D1.1(b)(12), and 3C1.1 based on the record. The court also rejected the substantive reasonableness challenge and affirmed the judgment. - *In plain terms:* In an October 29, 2026 opinion, the Fifth Circuit affirmed Afrika Roshawn Seals's 292-month sentence and denial of his motion to dismiss the indictment, finding probable cause and no clear error in three enhancements. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-25-60590 / USCOURTS-ca5-25-60590-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-25-60590/USCOURTS-ca5-25-60590-0) - **USA v.

The court acknowledged that Lopez's prior deferred adjudication probation meant no aggravated felony conviction preceded removal, but it found no effect on substantial rights under plain error review, upheld the supervised release term as individually assessed and within the statutory range, and noted that a constitutional challenge to the § 1326(b) recidivism enhancement is foreclosed. The conviction and sentence were affirmed, and the case was remanded for reformation of the written judgment to reflect a conviction under § 1326(b)(1) rather than the cited § 1326(a) and (b)(2). - *In plain terms:* In an October 29, 2026 opinion, the Fifth Circuit affirmed Pedro Garcia Lopez's conviction and sentence, and remanded to correct the written judgment to show a conviction under 8 U.S.C. §1326(b)(1). - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-26-10090 / USCOURTS-ca5-26-10090-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-26-10090/USCOURTS-ca5-26-10090-0) - **Donaldson v.

The court determined that it lacked jurisdiction because the record contained no evidence of consent to proceed before a magistrate judge and because a magistrate judge's report and recommendation is not a final decision under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The court denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the motion for equitable tolling, and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. - *In plain terms:* In an October 29, 2026 opinion, the Fifth Circuit dismissed Robert Leon Donaldson's appeal for lack of jurisdiction, as the record lacked consent to proceed before a magistrate judge. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-26-10240 / USCOURTS-ca5-26-10240-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-26-10240/USCOURTS-ca5-26-10240-0) - **Motorola v.

The court held that the district court should have reviewed the magistrate judge's order de novo as a dispositive matter, and that the district court misapplied the burden of proof and erred in weighing the Intel factors. Only the first discovery request, for the unredacted agreement, remained at issue on appeal. - *In plain terms:* In an October 29, 2026 opinion by Judge Edith Hollan Jones, the Fifth Circuit reversed an order allowing Motorola to obtain an unredacted patent purchase agreement from Advanced Standard Communication, L.L.C. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-26-10747 / USCOURTS-ca5-26-10747-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-26-10747/USCOURTS-ca5-26-10747-0) - **USA v.

The court stated that the district court incorrectly found Warner's objections to the magistrate judge's report untimely, but held the error harmless because the district court alternatively found the objections lacked merit after de novo review. The opinion applies the Rule 12(b)(6) standard and cites DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services. - *In plain terms:* The Fifth Circuit affirmed dismissal of pro se plaintiff Amy Lynn Warner's amended complaint against the City of Corpus Christi Police Department for failure to state a claim, finding a timeliness error harmless. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-26-40198 / USCOURTS-ca5-26-40198-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-26-40198/USCOURTS-ca5-26-40198-0) - **USA v.

The district court imposed a 36-month prison term, above the advisory guidelines range of 18 to 24 months, because it found his criminal history was insufficiently represented in the guidelines calculation. The court held that the above-range sentence was not an abuse of discretion. - *In plain terms:* The Fifth Circuit affirmed Mario Alejandro Rivas Martinez's sentence for illegal reentry, a 36-month term above the 18-to-24-month advisory guidelines range, finding it was not an abuse of discretion. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca5-26-50141 / USCOURTS-ca5-26-50141-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca5-26-50141/USCOURTS-ca5-26-50141-0) - **Smith v.

Weathersby's complaint, which asserted a hybrid claim against an employer for breach of a collective bargaining agreement and a claim against Boilermakers Union for breach of the duty of fair representation.

Judge Bennett dissented in part, stating that the ordinance compels speech and would vacate and remand for further proceedings. - *In plain terms:* The Ninth Circuit replaced its March 4, 2026 opinion with an amended one affirming the denial of Uber's request to temporarily block Seattle's App-Based Worker Deactivation Rights Ordinance; Judge Bennett dissented in part. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca9-25-228 / USCOURTS-ca9-25-228-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca9-25-228/USCOURTS-ca9-25-228-0) - **MAPLEBEAR INC., ET AL.

Bonta, the Ninth Circuit affirmed a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of California Senate Bill 399 (Cal. Lab. Code § 1137(c)), which prohibits employers from taking adverse action against employees who decline to attend employer-sponsored meetings or communications about religious or political matters. The panel held that the Western Growers Association had standing and that the industry groups were likely to succeed on their First Amendment claim, applying strict scrutiny and rejecting the captive audience justification for content-based restrictions on nongovernmental speech. The panel did not reach the preemption claim under the National Labor Relations Act. - *In plain terms:* The Ninth Circuit upheld a temporary block on California Senate Bill 399, which bars employers from penalizing workers who decline to attend employer-sponsored meetings on religious or political matters, finding the groups likely to win their First Amendment claim. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca9-25-6874 / USCOURTS-ca9-25-6874-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca9-25-6874/USCOURTS-ca9-25-6874-0) - **RED EAGLE LAW, LC V.

Fortson challenged the denial of a pretrial continuance, the denial of a motion to suppress evidence from a warrantless parole search of an apartment, and the admission of post-arrest interview statements. The court found no abuse of discretion in the continuance ruling because Fortson did not show actual prejudice, and it found no reversible error in the remaining challenges. - *In plain terms:* The appeals court upheld Joshua Fortson's federal drug-trafficking and firearm convictions, rejecting his challenges to a denied request to postpone trial, a warrantless parole search of an apartment, and his post-arrest statements. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca6-25-03210 / USCOURTS-ca6-25-03210-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca6-25-03210/USCOURTS-ca6-25-03210-0) - **USA v.

The district court had ruled that the Tribe lacked Article III standing to seek to set aside the consent decree, which required a $5,500,000 civil penalty and emissions mitigation, based on the United States' alleged failure to consult with the Tribe. The panel held that the Tribe did not show an injury in fact to its sovereign, quasi-sovereign, or economic interests, and it did not reach the United States' alternative grounds for affirmance. - *In plain terms:* The appeals court upheld the denial of the Ute Indian Tribe's bid to join a Clean Air Act case by the United States and Utah against FourPoint Resources, finding the Tribe had not shown injury. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca10-25-04121 / USCOURTS-ca10-25-04121-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca10-25-04121/USCOURTS-ca10-25-04121-0) - **Hopgood v.

The court reversed the with-prejudice dismissal of claims dismissed for failure to state a claim, other than the ADA claim against Judge Goodenow in her individual capacity, and remanded with instructions to dismiss those claims without prejudice. The court stated that amendment of the ADA claim against the individual judge would be futile because only public entities are subject to Title II. - *In plain terms:* The appeals court upheld dismissal of the ADA claim against Judge Goodenow in her individual capacity, and sent the plaintiff's other § 1983 and ADA claims back to be dismissed without prejudice. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca10-26-03025 / USCOURTS-ca10-26-03025-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca10-26-03025/USCOURTS-ca10-26-03025-0) - **Brewer v.

The order and judgment is nonbinding except as provided under the law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. - *In plain terms:* The appeals court upheld dismissal of Tamar Jackson's self-represented § 1983 suit against two officials at Northeast Oklahoma Community Correctional Center, which alleged denial of court access and retaliation, finding no actual injury. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca10-26-05083 / USCOURTS-ca10-26-05083-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca10-26-05083/USCOURTS-ca10-26-05083-0) #### United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit - **Linda Migliori, et al v.

The court reversed the district court's summary judgment for the Lehigh County Board of Elections and remanded with direction to count the undated ballots at issue. - *In plain terms:* The Third Circuit held that private plaintiffs may sue under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to enforce the Materiality Provision, found Pennsylvania's mail-in declaration dating rules immaterial to voter qualifications, and ordered the undated ballots counted. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca3-22-01499 / USCOURTS-ca3-22-01499-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca3-22-01499/USCOURTS-ca3-22-01499-0) - **Linda Migliori, et al v.

The Third Circuit affirmed the district court's rulings on the reduction of hours, the Allentown market and hourly rates, and the denial of fees for litigating the fee petition. Judge Matey dissented, stating that the plaintiffs had no cause of action under 52 U.S.C. § 10101(a)(2)(B) and that fees should be denied or the judgment vacated. - *In plain terms:* This nonprecedential opinion, filed October 29, 2026, affirmed the district court's fee rulings under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 for the plaintiff voters.

Lehigh County Board of Elections** (No. 25-02650; filed 2026-10-29) — This nonprecedential opinion, filed October 29, 2026, addresses the Lehigh County Board of Elections' appeal and the plaintiff voters' cross-appeal, both arising from the district court's order granting in part and denying in part attorneys' fees under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. The Third Circuit affirmed, finding the Board's objections sufficiently specific, the hour reduction within the district court's discretion, the Allentown rate determination free of clear error, and the denial of fees for the fee petition supported by the record. Judge Matey dissented, stating that the plaintiffs had no cause of action under 52 U.S.C. § 10101(a)(2)(B) and that fees should be denied or the judgment vacated. - *In plain terms:* This nonprecedential opinion, filed October 29, 2026, affirmed a fee award against the Lehigh County Board of Elections under 42 U.S.C. § 1988.

The Third Circuit affirmed the district court's affirmance of the Bankruptcy Court's orders. It held that the Bankruptcy Court did not abuse its discretion in its cost-benefit analysis, which found that the costs of the Committee's proposed claims outweighed their likely benefits to the estate. - *In plain terms:* This nonprecedential opinion, filed October 29, 2026, affirmed Invitae Corporation bankruptcy rulings, including the finding that a creditors' committee's proposed claims cost more than their likely benefit to the estate. - Included because: USCOURTS-SEL-01 — appellate court opinion (all listed) (document dated 2026-10-29) - Source: [USCOURTS-ca3-25-02735 / USCOURTS-ca3-25-02735-0](https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/USCOURTS-ca3-25-02735/USCOURTS-ca3-25-02735-0) - **Linda Migliori, et al v.

The court held that the plaintiffs were a prevailing party, that the Board's objections met the specificity standard of Bell v. United Princeton Properties, Inc., that the district court's hours reduction and its Allentown market-rate determination were within its discretion and not clear error, and that fees for litigating the fee petition were properly denied because no lodestar analysis was submitted. Judge Matey, dissenting, would hold that the plaintiffs have no cause of action under 52 U.S.C. § 10101(a)(2)(B), would find that special circumstances preclude a fee award, and would vacate the judgment and remand. - *In plain terms:* This nonprecedential opinion affirmed a district court's attorneys' fee award under 42 U.S.C. § 1988 for five voter plaintiffs against the Lehigh County Board of Elections.

titles only in the pilot) 59 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: 16 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 2026-10-30, 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 2026-10-30, 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. --- ## 9. Presidential Actions Source: the Executive Office of the President, as published on whitehouse.gov and observed 2026-10-30. 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. --- ## Terms Used Today - *direct final rule* — a rule that takes effect automatically unless significant objections arrive - *engrossed* — the official text of a bill as passed by one chamber - *enrolled* — the final text of a bill passed by both chambers, sent to the President - *incorporation by reference* — making an outside document legally part of a rule without reprinting it - *interim final rule* — a rule that takes effect without waiting for public comment, though comments are still accepted - *motion to proceed* — a Senate vote on whether to start considering a bill - *notice of proposed rulemaking* — the formal announcement of a draft regulation - *safety zone* — a temporary area of water that vessels may not enter without permission --- ## Coverage Statement *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 2026-10-31T04:00:05Z · CREC: completed 2026-10-31T04:00:05Z · FR: completed 2026-10-31T04:00:06Z · PLAW: completed 2026-10-31T04:00:11Z · USCOURTS: completed 2026-10-31T04:00:07Z; last watermarks as listed in the header. | Collection | Packages observed | Granules/documents | Summarized | Counted only | Excluded by rule | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | CREC | 1 | 92 | 1 | 40 | 51 | | BILLS | 20 | — | 14 | 6 | 0 | | FR | 1 | 119 | 18 | 101 | 0 | | USCOURTS | 495 | 885 | 52 | 833 | 0 | | PLAW | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | | AGENCYPR | 260 | 260 | 0 | 244 | 16 | | VOTES | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | BILLACTIONS | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | PRESACT | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | **Exclusion rules applied today:** - CREC-EX-01: floor granule below floor-time threshold — 51 item(s) - CREC-EX-02: extensions/daily-digest sections (counted) — 40 item(s) - FR-EX-01: notices counted, not individually summarized — 101 item(s) - USCOURTS-EX-01: district court opinions counted, not individually summarized — 832 item(s) - USCOURTS-EX-02: bankruptcy court opinions counted, not individually summarized — 1 item(s) - AGENCYPR-EX-01: release dated outside this day by the agency (feed backfill / newly activated source) — counted, not listed — 16 item(s) **Source graphics:** 87 graphic(s) flagged across today's documents: 86 content graphic(s) (equations, forms, maps, annex pages) and 1 boilerplate (signatures/seals, excluded by rule FR-GPH-01).

Totals in this table are reproducible from the stored extraction records for 2026-10-30.* --- ## Methodology Selection rules, summarization prompts, and thresholds are versioned in this repository and identified by the pipeline version in the header (ecad1888). Editorial principles — primary sources only, opinion-agnostic prose, mechanical party-blind selection, full coverage accounting — are defined in [GUIDE.md](../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 2026-10-30; 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](faq.html#fapds-three-clocks). 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.* License: this digest's compilation and prose are [CC BY 4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) (credit "FAPD — Free Agentic Publication Digester"); quoted official government text is public domain (17 U.S.C. § 105).
