Emergency application
Court review of release conditions
Monika Kapoor v. Vincent F. DeMarco, United States Marshal for the Eastern District of New York
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on May 30, 2025: the lower court's ruling stays in effect while the appeal continues.
Emergency rulings are temporary and do not decide the underlying case.
What's being asked
Monika Kapoor, a citizen of India, asks the Supreme Court to pause the Second Circuit’s judgment and mandate in her case. She seeks the pause while preparing to ask the Court to review the case. Her case names the U.S. marshal and chief pretrial services officer for the Eastern District of New York. The application excerpt does not explain what the dispute is about.
What the Court did
The Court refused Kapoor’s request for an emergency pause. Justice Sotomayor wiped out (vacated) the temporary pause she had ordered on May 19 and denied Kapoor’s application. The Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
This emergency ruling addresses only whether to pause the Second Circuit’s judgment; it does not decide who wins the underlying case. The Second Circuit’s judgment and mandate are no longer paused. No related merits case is listed, and no argument is set.
