Furthermore, conference discussions and votes on certiorari do not take place for the overwhelming majority of those cases because they are never selected for discussion by any justice.

If a case received a vote on certiorari at all (yea or nay), by default it had been placed on the discuss list and referred for conference. That's why you see that on the docket listing. The vast majority of cases are never accepted for consideration, not distributed for conference, and not voted upon.

If a case is not voted on and certiorai is not denied, how is it "rejected"?
