Emergency application
Employer benefits and union votes
NP Red Rock LLC, d/b/a Red Rock Casino Resort Spa v. National Labor Relations Board
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on September 4, 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
Casino operator NP Red Rock LLC asks the Supreme Court to pause the D.C. Circuit’s mandate (its formal order putting the judgment into effect). The company also seeks Supreme Court review. The dispute concerns a National Labor Relations Board order requiring the casino to bargain with a union. Red Rock says the case raises whether granting benefits can support that order and whether the Board considered current circumstances.
What the Court did
The Chief Justice refused Red Rock’s request to pause the D.C. Circuit’s mandate and denied the application (turned down the request). That emergency ruling does not decide who wins the underlying labor dispute. The Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
This emergency ruling addresses only a temporary pause, not who wins the underlying case. The D.C. Circuit’s judgment remains in place; the docket lists no related Supreme Court case on the underlying dispute or argument date.
