No, but it can possibly have an affect on the ruling of a case.
No. An appeal to precedent is a type of analogy. This is the practice of using a case that has already been decided in a court of law (the precedent) as an analog with which to compare the case in question. If the case in question is sufficiently similar to the precedent, and the precedent stands on the authority of the court's ruling, then it may be argued by analogy that the case in question should receive the same ruling. It would be inconsistent, hence illogical, to treat like cases (the analogs) differently. (McGraw Hill Moral reasoning)
A precedent is when the outcome of a case helps set the rules for future cases. A judge doesnâ??t have to use a precedent in the ruling, but precedents can be used to predict how a case will turn out.

yes it did
Once the Supreme Court rules on a case, the ruling becomes binding precedent for future decisions. This means that lower courts are required to follow and apply the same legal principles established in the Supreme Court's ruling when deciding similar cases in the future. The ruling sets a legal standard that must be followed unless it is later overruled or modified by a subsequent Supreme Court decision.
No. An interim order is intended to be temporary, until the final ruling is made, and cannot be used as a precedent. If the final decision is made Per Curiam (unsigned by the Court), it can't be used as a precedent, either. Only a final, signed decision with no restrictions (such as in Bush v. Gore, (2000), where the Court narrowly applied their ruling to the instant case only) can be cited in case law.
