Emergency application
Release while appeal continues
Daryl Cook v. Tom McGinley, Superintendent, State Correctional Institution at Coal Township
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on June 4, 2025 for release while the case continues.
Emergency rulings are temporary and do not decide the underlying case.
What's being asked
Daryl Cook asks the Supreme Court for release or bail while review of his case continues. His case is against Tom McGinley, superintendent of the State Correctional Institution at Coal Township. The record does not explain the dispute or say what the Third Circuit ruled.
What the Court did
The Court refused Cook’s emergency request for release or bail; Justice Alito denied (refused) the application. The docket says the Court did not publish how the justices voted; this emergency ruling does not decide who wins the underlying case.
What it means
This temporary emergency ruling is not a final decision on the underlying case. The record names the Third Circuit as the lower court but does not describe what proceedings continue there. No related Supreme Court case on the main question is listed, and the application was not set for argument.
