I was looking for the same thing, I found this on scotusblog
I still don't know why some are held but Not relisted
Conferences are for deciding things such as granting or denying cert, or remanding for consideration of another case. If you want to make a decision it needs to be made at a conference.
They likely hold cases that they do not want to make a current decision, but may want to do something in the future and are not sure when exactly that might occur.
Most of the 2A cases are being held. Many are speculating that they will not do anything with these until they reach a decision on the NYSRPA case. They holding them until it makes more sense to make a decision. They will likely be scheduled for a conference once that determination is made.
The bump stock case is being relisted multiple times, which indicates they are still deciding what to do. The relists suggest they don't believe this case fits with the other 2A cases. Someone may be writing a dissent for denial, they also may be trying to negotiate additional support to grant cert, or one of the justices wants more time to look at a particular aspect of the case. The decision for this case is likely to be independent of the NYSRPA case and can come as soon as the next conference.
