Source The authoring judge was read from the signature line of the court's own published opinion, not from provider metadata — CourtListener records no author for most Sixth Circuit opinions.

Source The opinion is per curiam: issued in the name of the court, with no individual author. This is a fact about the opinion, not missing data.
