The Supreme Court on Dec. 15 ordered a federal appeals court to reconsider its ruling denying attorney’s fees to a white man who succeeded in blocking a Biden-era debt-relief program he alleged was racially discriminatory.

The court’s decision in Holman v. Rollins took the form of an unsigned order that was issued without comment. No justices dissented. No oral argument was held in the case.
