Emergency application
Temporary orders during appeals
Shawanda Solomon, as Parent and Next Friend of Student M.S. v. Anna Independent School District
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on April 21, 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
Shawanda Solomon, acting for student M.S., asks the Supreme Court for an emergency injunction (a temporary court order to act or stop acting). She asks for it while an appeal continues. Anna Independent School District is the other party. The appeal is before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, but the record does not describe the dispute or challenged order.
What the Court did
Justice Alito refused emergency help (denied the application). The ruling does not decide who wins the dispute. The Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
This emergency ruling addresses only temporary help and does not decide who wins the underlying dispute. The appeal remains before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals; no related Supreme Court case or argument is listed.
