Computer & Communications Industry Association v. Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on July 6, 2026, leaving the lower-court order in place.
Emergency rulings are temporary and do not decide the underlying case.
What's being asked
The Computer & Communications Industry Association asks the Court to undo the Fifth Circuit's pause during Texas's appeal. The pause covered a preliminary injunction (a temporary court order) from a Texas federal court in the group's case against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The record does not say what the injunction covers.
What the Court did
The Court refused emergency help and denied (turned down) CCIA's request to undo the Fifth Circuit's pause. The ruling does not decide who wins the underlying case; the Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
The Fifth Circuit's pause remains in place while the appeal continues there. This emergency ruling addresses temporary relief only; it does not decide who wins the underlying case. No related Supreme Court case is listed, and the Court set no argument on this application.
