Emergency application
Kaazim Cooper v. Judge Anne Swern
What did the Court do?
The Court denied the request on October 30, 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
Kaazim Cooper asks the Supreme Court for a temporary pause of a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The record does not say what the ruling ordered or what the underlying dispute concerns. The caption lists Judge Anne Swern and others as the opposing parties.
What the Court did
Justice Sotomayor refused Cooper's request for emergency help and denied the application (turned it down). The order does not decide the underlying dispute, and the Court did not publish how the justices voted.
What it means
The Second Circuit's ruling remains in place; this emergency ruling does not decide who wins the underlying case. The record lists no related merits case or argument date.
