Emergency application
Emergency court injunctions
Oliver Bruckauf, Individually and as Parent and Natural Guardian of E. B. v. Melissa Aviles-Ramos, Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on April 15, 2026, 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
Bruckauf and others ask the Supreme Court for an emergency injunction pending their mandamus petition (a request for a court order directing action). The caption identifies Bruckauf as a parent and guardian and names New York City schools chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos. The record does not explain the dispute or identify the specific Second Circuit ruling at issue.
What the Court did
Justice Sotomayor refused the emergency help, denying (turning down) the application. The record provides no opinion text, and the Court did not publish how the justices voted. The denial does not decide who wins the underlying dispute.
What it means
An emergency ruling addresses temporary relief and does not decide who wins the underlying dispute. The docket identifies the Second Circuit as the lower court but does not state what proceedings continue there. It lists no related Supreme Court case on the main question, and no argument is set.
