If p≡3(mod8), this quartic covering in a two-isogeny descent has no primitive integral solution. Opposite parities of U,V give N2≡2(mod8). If both are odd, their fourth powers are one modulo sixteen and p2≡9(mod16), giving N2≡20(mod32). Neither residue is a square. This excludes the class 2 on Y2=X3+4p2X.
