Emergency application
Evidence prosecutors must share
Roman Storm v. United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on February 13, 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
Roman Storm asks the Supreme Court to pause a lower-court ruling while he seeks Supreme Court review. He says the district court violated Rule 16 (a court rule) and challenges the standard for ordering it to act. The excerpt does not explain the underlying case or identify the specific order he wants paused.
What the Court did
Justice Sonia Sotomayor refused Storm’s request for a temporary pause (denied the application). The order does not decide who wins the underlying case. The docket does not report how the justices voted.
What it means
This ruling concerns temporary emergency help, not the final outcome of Storm’s case. The Second Circuit ruling was not paused. The docket lists no related Supreme Court case on the main legal questions or argument date.
