Emergency application
Harriet Nicholson v. Bank of New York Mellon
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on November 17, 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
Harriet Nicholson asks the Supreme Court to temporarily pause a Second Circuit ruling in her case against Bank of New York Mellon. The record does not say what the dispute concerns or what the ruling decided.
What the Court did
The Court turned down Nicholson’s request for a temporary pause (denied the application), leaving the Second Circuit ruling in place. It did not decide who wins the underlying dispute, and it did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
This emergency ruling concerns only a temporary pause, not the final outcome of Nicholson’s dispute. The Second Circuit ruling remains in place; the docket lists no related Supreme Court case on the main dispute or argument date.
