ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI BEFORE JUDGMENT TO THE UNITED 
STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT 

[June 8, 2023]

  CHIEF  JUSTICE  ROBERTS  delivered  the  opinion  of  the 
Court, except as to Part III–B–1.* 
  In January 2022, a three-judge District Court sitting in 
Alabama  preliminarily  enjoined  the  State  from  using  the 
districting  plan  it  had  recently  adopted  for  the  2022  con-
gressional  elections,  finding  that  the  plan  likely  violated 
Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, 52 U. S. C. §10301.  This 
Court stayed the District Court’s order pending further re-
view.  595 U. S. ___ (2022).  After conducting that review, 
we now affirm.
