Emergency application
Emergency court orders
Amro N. Elkabany v. Louis C. Shapiro, Judge, Superior Court of New Jersey, Gloucester County
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on August 28, 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
Amro N. Elkabany, a private party, asks the Supreme Court for an emergency injunction (a temporary order requiring someone to act or stop acting). The case caption names Louis C. Shapiro, a Superior Court judge in Gloucester County, New Jersey, and others. The record does not explain the dispute or describe the order at issue.
What the Court did
Justice Alito refused emergency help by denying Elkabany’s request for an injunction (a court order requiring someone to act or stop acting). That denial does not decide who wins the main case. The Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
The emergency ruling does not resolve the case in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. No related merits case is listed, and no argument is set.
