Emergency application
Pausing a court ruling
Gregory Alvin James Van Etten v. Stephanie K. Fattman
Has the Court ruled?
Not yet. The Court has not ruled on the request.
The request was sent to the full Court to decide.
What's being asked
Gregory Alvin James Van Etten asks the Supreme Court to temporarily pause a First Circuit ruling in his case against Stephanie K. Fattman. The docket does not say what that ruling decided or what the dispute is about.
What happens next
The Court has not ruled and can act at any time, with or without an explanation. No response was requested, and no administrative stay or argument date is listed. The application was referred to the full Court for its September 28, 2026 conference. The Court can grant the request, deny it, or grant part of it.
What it means
If granted, Van Etten's request would temporarily pause the First Circuit ruling. The ruling remains in place because no administrative stay is in effect; an emergency ruling would not decide who wins the case. No related merits case is listed, and the application is not set for argument.
