Background
This is a Disposition notice for a public order that states only an outcome. The supplied original identifies N.B. as petitioner and The People of the State of Colorado as respondent, with the additional case designations “In the Interest of N.A.J.B., and Concerning K.I.” It lists Supreme Court docket No. 26SC618 and Court of Appeals Case No. 26CA222.
The order is attributed to the Supreme Court of Colorado, En Banc, and dated November 2, 2026. The original supplies no petition, appendix, lower-court opinion, factual account, procedural history beyond those case numbers, or explanation of the underlying dispute. It also identifies no judicial author, individual justice, vote, concurrence, or dissent.
The Court’s Holding
The complete stated disposition is: “Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED.” The order therefore denies N.B.’s petition for a writ of certiorari in No. 26SC618. It does not state a holding on the merits, identify a legal issue, or provide reasoning for the denial.
Public reasoning is unavailable in the supplied original. Accordingly, this notice does not attribute a rationale to the court, describe the Court of Appeals’ decision, or infer the effect of the denial beyond the stated disposition. The en banc designation appears in the original, but no separate opinion or voting information is included.
Key Takeaways
- The Supreme Court of Colorado, En Banc, denied the petition for a writ of certiorari on November 2, 2026.
- The matter is docketed as No. 26SC618, and the order lists Court of Appeals Case No. 26CA222.
- The public order supplies only the disposition; it contains no substantive analysis, merits holding, or identified judicial author.
Why It Matters
The verified development for attorneys is the denial of certiorari in this matter. Because the original contains no substantive reasoning, it does not support a developed opinion summary or statements about the parties’ arguments, the lower court’s rationale, or any broader legal rule.
Readers seeking the underlying facts or legal issues would need materials not included in the original, such as the petition or the Court of Appeals’ decision. This notice is limited to the order’s express terms and does not treat the denial as an explanation or endorsement of any lower-court reasoning.
