   Basis

   Observed

   Population

   Three personal-case matters: Carroll No. 25-573, Carroll No. 26-141, and CNN No. 26-223. Related No. 26-142 and extension applications are deduplicated or excluded.

   Period

   2026-09-05 to 2026-09-05

   As of

   2026-09-05

   Method

   Read all three identified merits-petition dockets as of September 5. Count 26-141 and 26-223 once each because response deadlines remain pending. Exclude 25-573 after rehearing denial. The government's 26-142 petition concerns the same Carroll matter and adds no separate matter. Exclude Clinton 26A134 because only a disposed extension application, not a filed certiorari petition, appears in its reviewed docket.

   Uncertainty

   A bounded reviewed Supreme Court petition set, not all open litigation involving Trump or his businesses. Official-capacity cases, lower-court cases and unreviewed petitions are outside scope. Docket updates can change the count.
