A grant-vacate-remand (GVR) is a Supreme Court order that simultaneously grants a petition for certiorari, vacates the lower court's judgment, and remands the case for further consideration — typically in light of a recent Supreme Court decision that changed the governing legal standard. GVRs don't have precedential effect and aren't accompanied by a full merits opinion. The Court uses them to efficiently clear cases from its docket when a new ruling changes the legal landscape without requiring the justices to decide the underlying question themselves. GVR orders are issued on the orders list, not opinion day, and often receive little public attention despite their significant practical effect on the parties.
