What follows is an opinion from the Supreme Court of the United States. Your task is to identify the type of decision made by the court among the following: Consider "opinion of the court (orally argued)" if the court decided the case by a signed opinion and the case was orally argued. For the 1791-1945 terms, the case need not be orally argued, but a justice must be listed as delivering the opinion of the Court. Consider "per curiam (no oral argument)" if the court decided the case with an opinion but without hearing oral arguments. For the 1791-1945 terms, the Court (or reporter) need not use the term "per curiam" but rather "The Court [said],""By the Court," or "By direction of the Court." Consider "decrees" in the infrequent type of decisions where the justices will typically appoint a special master to take testimony and render a report, the bulk of which generally becomes the Court's decision. This type of decision usually arises under the Court's original jurisdiction and involves state boundary disputes. Consider "equally divided vote" for cases decided by an equally divided vote, for example when a justice fails to participate in a case or when the Court has a vacancy. Consider "per curiam (orally argued)" if no individual justice's name appears as author of the Court's opinion and the case was orally argued. Consider "judgment of the Court (orally argued)" for formally decided cases (decided the case by a signed opinion) where less than a majority of the participating justices agree with the opinion produced by the justice assigned to write the Court's opinion.

Opinion:
HUFFMAN v. BOERSEN
No. 71-5097.
Argued April 19, 1972
Decided May 15, 1972
Leo Eisenstatt, by appointment of the Court, 404 U. S. 998, argued the cause and filed briefs for petitioner.
Vincent L. Doweling argued the cause and filed a brief for respondent.
Per Curiam.
We granted certiorari to review the constitutionality of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-1914 (1964) under which the Nebraska Supreme Court dismissed this indigent petitioner’s appeal for his failure to deposit the $75 cash or bond security for costs required of appellants by the statute. 404 U. S. 990 (1971). The judgment appealed from annulled petitioner’s marriage to respondent and dismissed his countersuit claiming paternity and custody of a child born to respondent. After our grant of certiorari, Nebraska enacted Legislative Bill 1120 providing, among other things, that the Nebraska courts “shall authorize . . . [an] appeal . . . without prepayment of . . . security, by a person who makes an affidavit that he is unable to . . . give security . . . ,” except that “[a]n appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith.” Counsel for both parties were of the opinion on oral argument here that this new statute is applicable to the instant case. Counsel for respondent also conceded that petitioner’s appeal on the paternity issue has merit. Accordingly, the judgment is vacated and the cause remanded to the Nebraska Supreme Court for reconsideration in light of the supervening statute.
It is so ordered.
“On appeal in any case taken from the district court to the Supreme Court the appellant . . . shall, within one month next after the rendition of the judgment or decree . . . sought to be reversed, vacated or modified, ... file in the district court a bond or undertaking in the sum of seventy-five dollars to be approved by the clerk of the district court, conditioned that the appellant shall pay all costs adjudged against him in the Supreme Court; or, in lieu thereof, shall make a cash deposit with said clerk of at least seventy-five dollars for the same purpose . . . .”
“Q. You told us today that you concede that the determination of the paternity question was insufficient, invalid I think is the word you used.
“Mr. Dowding. Yes, I’m willing to agree that [petitioner] did not have his day in court on the paternity issue.
“Q. And we could say so on a remand.
“Mr. Dowding. Yes. So stipulate.” Tr. of Oral Arg. 40.
