Having considered the Legislature’s Motion, the Court declines at this juncture to modify the conditions it imposed in its earlier Order 27 allowing the Legislature to permissively intervene. Allowing the Legislature to file an additional brief past the deadline of the expedited briefing schedule would unduly prejudice the United States, which must file its reply brief by 12:00 pm MST, on August 19, 2022. In addition, the Legislatures total briefing would exceed not only the 15-page limit imposed by the Court but would also exceed the 20-page limit imposed by the Local Rules to which both the United States and the State of Idaho have adhered. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Legislature’s Motion for Leave to File Legal Arguments 69 is DENIED. Signed by Judge B Lynn Winmill.

Jan 05 2024 Because the Court has consolidated these cases for briefing and oral argument, future filings and activity in the cases will now be reflected on the docket of No. 23-726.

Each document submitted in connection with one or more of these cases must include on its cover the case number and caption for each case in which the filing is intended to be submitted. Where a filing is submitted in fewer than all of the cases, the docket entry will reflect the case number(s) in which the filing is submitted; a document filed in all of the consolidated cases will be noted as “VIDED.”

  ReplyProof of Service
Oct 08 2020 Application (20A34) referred to the Court.
   
Oct 08 2020 The Government seeks a stay of an injunction preventing the Food and Drug Administration from enforcing in-person dispensation requirements for the drug mifepristone during the pendency of the public health emergency. The Government argues that, at a minimum, the injunction is overly broad in scope, given that it applies nationwide and for an indefinite duration regardless of the improving conditions in any individual State. Without indicating this Court’s views on the merits of the District Court’s order or injunction, a more comprehensive record would aid this Court’s review. The Court will therefore hold the Government’s application in abeyance to permit the District Court to promptly consider a motion by the Government to dissolve, modify, or stay the injunction, including on the ground that relevant circumstances have changed. See Febre v. United States, 396 U. S. 1225, 1225–1226 (1969) (Harlan, J., in chambers); see also Parr v. United States, 351 U. S. 513, 520 (1956). The District Court should rule within 40 days of receiving the Government’s submission. JUSTICE ALITO, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS joins, dissenting. (Detached Opinion).

  Main DocumentProof of Service
Jan 12 2021 Application (20A34) granted by the Court. The application for stay presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is granted, and the district court’s July 13, 2020 order granting a preliminary injunction is stayed pending disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought. Should the petition for a writ of certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event the petition for a writ of certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court. JUSTICE BREYER would deny the application. CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS, concurring in the grant of application for stay. (Detached Opinion). JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN joins, dissenting from grant of application for stay. (Detached Opinion).
