Even if you file USSC appeal via petition for certiorari, they get to choose if they want to hear it.
The State SCs I have researched are the same; they choose if they want to hear the case. If they decide to not hear it, the cert is denied which doesn't mean the argument was decided. It just wasn't heard by the court.
