Emergency application
Pausing an appeals court ruling
Korean Claimants v. Dow Silicone Corporation
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on February 24, 2026: 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
The Korean claimants ask the Supreme Court to pause the Sixth Circuit's mandate, the order putting its decision into effect. They seek the pause while filing and pursuing a petition asking the Supreme Court to hear the case. The record does not explain their dispute with Dow Silicone Corporation; it identifies only the mandate they want paused.
What the Court did
The Court refused emergency help: Justice Kavanaugh turned down (denied) the request to pause the Sixth Circuit's mandate. The Court did not publish how the justices voted. This does not decide who wins the underlying case.
What it means
The request sought only a temporary pause; its denial does not decide who wins the underlying case. The Sixth Circuit's mandate remains unpaused, leaving its decision in effect. No related Supreme Court case is listed, and no argument is set.
