Jurisdiction noted in 15-680, Bethune-Hill v. Va. Board of Elections. Issue is racial gerrymandering in state legislative elections. - See more at: http://live.scotusblog.com/Event/Live_blog_of_orders_and_opinions__June_6_2016#sthash.KV2pUR27.dpuf
It is "jurisdiction noted" because it went to a three-judge panel, which found racial gerrymandering; the three-judge panel decision can go directly to the Supreme Court in what is called a mandatory appeal.
