| Question presented | Apple Inc., Petitioner v. Epic Games, Inc.1. Whether a court may hold a party in civil contempt based on a violation of an injunction's "spirit" where the injunction is silent as to the conduct upon which contempt is based, as the Ninth Circuit holds; or, instead, whether a court must ground a finding of civil contempt on the violation of an order that clearly and unambiguously proscribes the precise conduct at issue, as other circuits hold. 2. Whether the Ninth Circuit has properly created an "antitrust" or "competition" exception to Trump v. CASA, Inc ., 606 U.S. 831 (2025), and the longstanding equitable principles on which CASA rests, or otherwise disregarded CASA 's limits. | In Re Aaron Eriksson, Petitioner1. Whether the federal government’s direct administration of the income tax against natural persons violates the Bill of Rights and the structural federalism of the Constitution by subjecting individuals to federal power that was never delegated to it and by displacing the sovereign States as constitutional intermediaries. 2. Whether the Sixteenth Amendment has turned the Bill of Rights into a mere parchment barrier by rendering its protections optional in the realm of taxation through a self-reinforcing regime of direct federal control over natural persons that is accelerating the erosion of constitutional limitations. 3. Whether this Court should issue a writ of mandamus compelling the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to cease exercising direct administrative authority over natural persons, where the violation is systemic, entrenched, and cannot be adequately remedied through ordinary judicial processes. | 6525 Belcrest Road, LLC v. Dewey, L.C.Whether 11 U.S.C. § 101(5) determines whether an assignor or assignee of a commercial real-property lease has standing to assert a claim for lease rejection damages, and in what amount under § 502(b)(6), or whether those questions must be determined by state law and the parties' assignment pursuant to § 502(b)(1), Butner, and Travelers. |
| Summary | Apple Inc., Petitioner v. Epic Games, Inc.The Court will consider whether Apple could be held in civil contempt for conduct that allegedly violated the “spirit” of an injunction in its dispute with Epic Games, even though the injunction did not expressly prohibit that conduct. It will also consider whether the Ninth Circuit could uphold relief extending beyond the parties under an asserted antitrust or competition-law exception to limits on federal courts’ equitable power. | In Re Aaron Eriksson, PetitionerAaron Eriksson asked the Supreme Court to order the IRS commissioner to stop directly administering federal income taxes for individuals, arguing that this violated constitutional rights and federalism. The Court denied the petition (refused to grant the requested order) without deciding those claims. | 6525 Belcrest Road, LLC v. Dewey, L.C.In its petition, 6525 Belcrest Road, LLC says the lower courts allowed a commercial lease claim based on the remaining 24-year term even though the claimant had assigned the lease rights and kept rent rights only through a set date. The LLC asks the Supreme Court to review whether federal bankruptcy law or state law and the assignment control who may claim lease-rejection damages and how much. |
