    • 2024, Lawrence VanDyke, United States v. Duarte‎[1], page 2:
      While dissentals are more common, judges on both this and other courts have, on occasion, penned dissents from the grant of en banc review. ... These disgrantles are understandably rare.... […] But because the Ninth Circuit’s peculiar en banc procedures do not guarantee participation in the en banc panel to all active judges, a disgrantle is the only guaranteed way a judge on this court can publicly explain why it was inappropriate for our court to take a particular case en banc.
