Decision
Emergency motion for a stay denied.
View
On November 2, 2018, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order denying the federal government's emergency motion for a stay of district court proceedings pending Supreme Court review. The Ninth Circuit said that Chief Justice Roberts's granting of a stay of the litigation on October 19 rendered the government's "non-substantive" motion moot. (The Ninth Circuit issued its order just hours before the Supreme Court denied the government's stay application and vacated the Chief Justice's stay.)
