Emergency application
Pausing a court ruling
Carl Gordon v. Gavin Newsom
Has the Court ruled?
Not yet. The Court has not ruled on the request.
It was filed June 30, 2026.
What's being asked
Carl Gordon, in a case against Gavin Newsom and others, asks the Supreme Court to temporarily pause a Ninth Circuit ruling. The docket does not explain what the dispute concerns or what the ruling ordered.
What happens next
The refiled application is pending, and the Court has not ruled on it; it can act at any time, with or without an explanation. No response is due, no referral or temporary pause is listed, and no argument is set. The Court can grant the request, deny it, or grant part of it.
What it means
An emergency pause would be temporary and would not decide who wins the underlying case. If granted, Gordon seeks to pause the Ninth Circuit ruling while the case continues there. The docket lists no related Supreme Court case on the main question, and no argument is set.
