Lots of GVRs (especially to Fifth Circuit) on latest SCOTUS order list

In this prior post following the Supreme Court’s important ruling in Borden v. US, No. 19–5410 (S. Ct. June 10, 2021) (available here), limiting applicable ACCA predicates, I asked “How many federal prisoners might now be serving illegal sentences after Borden?”.  Though that question may never get a precise answer, today’s Supreme Court order list has a bunch of Borden GVRs which showcases which circuits will be most busy with the Borden fallout.

Specifically, by my count, the Borden GVRs come from the Fifth Circuit (16 of them!), the Sixth Circuit (two), the Tenth Circuit (two), and the Eleventh Circuit (one).  There is also a very long list of cert denials in the order list, so I would guess that not everyone pressing an ACCA claim secured a GVR.  (And, of course, there are surely many folks serving Borden-iffy ACCA sentences who did not have pending cert petitions.)

As always, I welcome input on whether any of these GVRs or denials are surprising or noteworthy (or other Borden application news).
