Yes. Each case that goes to SCOTUS goes through a bunch of desk-monkeys that consider if a case is even worthy enough to include in the weekly (?) meetings the judges have to discuss each case that is worthy. If it doesn't make it to the meeting, it is already been dismissed (none of the judges sen it). If it goes to the meeting and the judges agree (vote) to hear it, they may hear it unless they change their mind later on. Or they dismiss it in meeting.
