Emergency application
Emergency court orders during appeals
Vorcelia Oliphant-Macher v. Peter Macher
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on May 5, 2025, so nothing changes while the case continues in the lower courts.
Emergency rulings are temporary and do not decide the underlying case.
What's being asked
Vorcelia Oliphant-Macher asks the Supreme Court for an emergency injunction (a temporary order requiring someone to act or stop acting) while her appeal continues. Her appeal is before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The record does not explain the dispute or identify the specific lower-court order at issue.
What the Court did
Justice Sotomayor refused emergency help and denied (rejected) Oliphant-Macher's application. The order does not decide who wins the underlying case; the record gives no explanation, and the Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
This emergency ruling addresses temporary help and does not decide who wins the underlying case. Oliphant-Macher's appeal continues in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The docket lists no related Supreme Court case, and no argument is set.
