What's being asked

Oudree Ellis-Sanders asks the U.S. Supreme Court to temporarily pause a ruling by the Supreme Court of California. The record does not explain what that ruling concerns or what the dispute with Guardia Piazza D'oro LLC is about.

What the Court did

Justice Kagan refused Ellis-Sanders's request for a temporary pause (denied it). The docket says the Court did not publish how the justices voted; the denial does not decide who wins the underlying dispute.
