A private party asks the Supreme Court to pause (stay) a lower-court ruling from the Supreme Court of Texas while the appeal continues. The case is Elisha Holloway v. Bryan Polk.

What happens next

The Court can act at any time, with or without an explanation. It can grant the request, deny it, or grant part of it.

What it means
