The U.S. Supreme Court may issue decisions on Jan. 17 in pending cases, which could include TikTok’s request to block a law forcing it to change owners or shut down on Jan. 19.

Late on Jan. 16, the court updated its website to say it “may announce opinions” on Jan. 17, without providing specifics. Decisions may be made public but the justices will not appear in court to release them, according to the website.
