The United States Supreme Court is not required to hear every case that is appealed to it. The Court may choose to hear cases that involve significant legal or constitutional issues, but it has the discretion to decline to hear cases that do not meet its criteria. Therefore, since the question does not provide any information indicating that the case involves significant legal or constitutional issues, it is safe to assume that the Court is not required to hear the case.
