A minor bit of pedantry, but cases ruled in one circuit do not set precedent for cases ruled in another circuit. They only set precedent within their own circuit. Because different precedents have now been set in different circuits, it is possible that a case may go to the supreme court (which would then set precedent for all of the courts in the land).
