Emergency application
Raji Rab v. Shirley Weber, Secretary of State of California
Has the Court ruled?
Not yet. The Court has not ruled on the request.
It was filed October 15, 2026.
What's being asked
Raji Rab, a private party, asks the Supreme Court for an emergency injunction (a court order requiring action or stopping it). The docket does not identify the dispute or the lower-court order at issue. The case names California Secretary of State Shirley Weber and identifies the Ninth Circuit as the lower court.
What happens next
The Court has not ruled and can act at any time, with or without an explanation. No response deadline was requested, and the application was not referred to the full Court. No administrative stay is in place, and no argument is set; the Court can grant the request, deny it, or grant part of it.
What it means
Granting Rab's request would temporarily require or stop some action, but the record does not identify the action or who would be affected. An emergency ruling would be temporary and would not decide who wins the underlying case; proceedings would continue in the Ninth Circuit. The record lists no related case asking the Supreme Court to decide the main legal questions, and the application is not set for argument.
