I don't recall - perhaps you can provide an example - seeing a US Supreme Court decision that says "citation
withheld".
On the other hand, I have seen, often, "citation
omitted" -- but used only when quoting verbatim from something, usually an earlier court decision, which is itself identified and which can be looked up to find all the citations that were glossed over in the court's quotation.
Not so much a "refusal" as just skipping distracting details when making a quotation.
