The Supreme Court might dismiss an appeal or reject a petition for various reasons. Some common grounds include lack of jurisdiction, procedural defects, failure to raise a substantial federal question, or if the issue has become moot or settled. Additionally, if the Court believes the case lacks legal significance or if it has already ruled on a similar matter, they may choose not to hear the appeal.
