What's being asked
Harriet Nicholson asks the Supreme Court for an emergency injunction in her dispute with Bank of New York Mellon. The bank serves as trustee for certificate holders in a named trust. The record does not explain the dispute or describe the Second Circuit order involved.
What the Court did
Justice Sotomayor refused Nicholson’s emergency request and denied (turned down) her injunction application. The docket does not report how the justices voted; this denial does not decide who wins the underlying dispute.
