Allen v. Milligan was the last case to be decided from the Supreme Court's October sitting. There were only eight cases argued in that sitting, so only eight justices wrote majority opinions. Justice Thomas, the senior-most justice after Chief Justice Roberts, was the one justice left out.
While Justice Thomas did not author a majority opinion from the October sitting, he authored more pages from that sitting than any other justice and it is not particularly close. Justice Thomas wrote three opinions that spanned 95 pages. The next most prolific justice, in terms of page count, was Justice Kagan, who wrote 62 pages, followed by Justice Alito who wrote 52 pages. The two newest justices—Barrett and Jackson –wrote the fewest pages from the October sitting, 13 and 23 respectively. The totals are indicated in the table below.
