# Bowe v. United States **Source:** [CourtListener SCOTUS](https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/10772450/bowe-v-united-states/) **Author:** Supreme Court of the United States **Published:** 2026-01-09 **Jurisdiction:** Federal - Supreme Court ## Summary - Bowe v. United States is a slip opinion from the October 2025 term in which the Supreme Court issued a syllabus (headnote) alongside the opinion for reader convenience. The syllabus, prepared by the Reporter of Decisions, is expressly noted as non‑binding and not part of the Court’s substantive decision. - The syllabus is a summary tool, not legal authority; it cannot be cited as precedent. - It is prepared by the Reporter of Decisions, not the justices, and serves only to aid understanding. - The Court’s practice of releasing syllabi contemporaneously with opinions reflects procedural transparency but does not affect the holding of the case. - The notice cites United States v. Detroit Timber as a precedent for the treatment of syllabi. ## Content
