Maybe not. I'm not sure, but if a Justice's name isn't on the dissent, doesn't that mean that they just didn't write the opinion, but they still could have voted in line with the dissent? Is there a lawyer here who can weigh in?
Normally, yes, could have been 5-4 decision and fourth Justice just chose not to put name on dissent, but here if four justices wanted to hear they would have, so only the three.
Edited because I forgot about four Justice standard.
