Supreme Court of the United States

In Re United States, Applicants.

November 2, 2018139 S. Ct. 452

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the Government's request for a stay of the district‑court climate‑change lawsuit and vacated the Chief Justice's order. The Court held that the Government lacked a fair prospect of success on its mandamus petition because adequate relief remains available in the Ninth Circuit, and that mandamus is unavailable when other adequate avenues exist.
