U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit — Order and Amended Opinion, United States v. Holmes and Balwani (Captured Public Document)

A read-only presentation of an independently captured public federal appellate opinion. Counterpedia presents the captured artifact and its provenance chain; it does not restate the opinion's holdings as findings and asserts nothing beyond what the provenance record carries.

Overview

This record presents a federal appellate opinion issued in December 2025 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in the consolidated criminal appeals of Elizabeth Holmes and Ramesh Balwani, arising from their convictions related to the Theranos blood-testing enterprise. Counterpedia presents the independently captured document and its provenance chain; it does not restate the opinion's holdings as established facts outside their judicial posture and takes no position on any matter beyond what is carried by the capture record.

Provenance and scope

The underlying document was independently retrieved from the Ninth Circuit's public opinion datastore. This record structurally carries the capture's content digest, its downstream source-reference identifier, and a content-addressed custody manifest digest — recorded in the source's capture-integrity block below. It does not itself carry an independent verification report; verification, where performed, is a separate act recorded elsewhere. This paragraph is a Counterpedia provenance observation, not a claim supported by the cited source. Admission to this read-only pool is a presentation decision recorded by the corpus owner and establishes no authenticity, no signature validity, and no verification outcome.
