This is called a "negative pregnant."

"He did X with Bubba."
"I did not do X with Bubba Clinton."

But he did *not* deny doing X, regardless of who he did X with.
negative pregnant n. a denial of an allegation in which a person actually admits more than he/she denies by denying only a part of the alleged fact. Example: Plaintiff alleges Defendant "misused more than a hundred thousand dollars placed in his trust in 1994." Defendant denies the amount was more than a hundred thousand, and denies it was given to him in 1994. Thus, he did not deny the misuse, just the amount and the date. https://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1313

This is what the caption of the statewide form looks like. The next "section" after Points & Authorities is the Declaration.

Obviously, you ask your judge's clerk or locals if you're on the right track, but this is what Oregon would be thinking of.

The federal dollars also have a slew of new eligibility conditions that several Oregon providers said would put them in conflict with state funding rules. For instance, while federal grantees now must require people placed in permanent housing take part in services like addiction treatment or employment training, Oregon requires all services be “voluntary” to be eligible for the $80 million it set aside for permanent housing projects over the next two years. Other provisions in the new federal grant requirements include that applicants must be in areas that enforce laws prohibiting public camping and illicit drug use, comply with federal immigration enforcement and use “a definition of sex other than as binary,” referring to the recognition of nonbinary and transgender people.

Paywalled, but this is the startling intro
USPTO Dir John Squires has now issued 34 decisions on IPR institution since assuming personal control of the institution process in October 2025, with all 34 petitions denied. The Director's November 6, 2025 notice denies institution in 21 additional IPRs, following an October 31 notice denying 13 others. These summary orders provide no reasoning or analysis, listing only the denied IPR numbers and stating that "institution of inter partes review is denied." The Director appears to be using institutional silence as a policy instrument to strengthen patent rights by avoiding substantive review. The current 0% institution rate stands in sharp contrast to the PTAB's historic institution rate of approximately 67%. This raises questions in my mind about whether the IPR system can continue to function as the alternative to district court litigation that Congress envisioned in the America Invents Act.

On a world in search of a lasting peace since that day, now called Veteran's Day.
In 1918, at the end of four years of World War I’s devastation, leaders negotiated for the guns in Europe to fall silent once and for all on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was not technically the end of the war, which came with the Treaty of Versailles. Leaders signed that treaty on June 28, 1919, five years to the day after the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand set off the conflict. But the armistice declared on November 11 held, and Armistice Day became popularly known as the day “The Great War,” which killed at least 40 million people, ended.

"We live by the conviction that acts of goodness reflect the hidden light of His holiness. His light is above our minds but not beyond our will. It is within our power to mirror His unending love in deeds of kindness, like brooks that hold the sky." (p. 58) - Abraham Joshua Heschel ("I Asked for Wonder")

‪Steve Vladeck‬ ‪@stevevladeck.bsky.social‬ In other words, the Court is trying to buy itself two more days to see if the House approves the shutdown deal (which may well moot this case), rather than having to rule *now* on whether USDA can be forced to fully fund SNAP for November. And KBJ objects because she’d just deny the application now. ‪Steve Vladeck‬ ‪@stevevladeck.bsky.social‬ Among other things, this certainly seems consistent with how many of us read Justice Jackson’s intervention on Friday—buying a few days, but no more, for the First Circuit and the full Court to rule. Now that they’ve had that time, she’d decide the stay *now*—and would deny it.
