Denied
No. 26A37Injunction applicationFiled by a private partyPresented to The Chief JusticeFrom United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit

Emergency rulings are temporary and do not decide the underlying case.

Filed Ruled 14 days after filing

What's being asked

Tatyana Evgenievna Drevaleva, a private individual, asks the Chief Justice for an emergency injunction in a case involving the United States and others. The docket names the D.C. Circuit as the lower court but gives no details about its ruling or the underlying dispute.

What the Court did

The Chief Justice refused Drevaleva's request for emergency help and denied the application (turned it down). This rejects only the emergency request; it does not decide who wins the underlying case. The docket does not report how the justices voted.

The order does not say how any justice voted, as is usual on the emergency docket.
Half of 252 rulings on applications decided without a response came 8 to 30 days after filing, and the median was 14 days; this one was ruled on 14 days after filing.

What it means

This emergency ruling does not decide the final outcome of the underlying dispute. A related case about the main legal question, No. 25-1328, exists. The record does not say what proceedings continue in the D.C. Circuit; no argument is set for this application.
