(When a case comes up this way, as opposed to through a cert. petition, a decision for the Court not to hear the case is generally treated as a binding precedent.)
The above is from ScotusBlog. Though you plainly never read it, a link to it is found in your own OP. Perhaps you'll be able to discover which one all on your own???

Since you obviously know where to find the relevant text,
but are much too petty and ungracious to share it with me and others, I have zero intention of looking for it at your behest.
Until you provide evidence to the contrary, it doesn't exist. When you do provide it, I'll acknowledge that you're correct.
