What happened
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. stayed a D.C. Circuit mandate in Catherine Herridge's case, temporarily pausing the lower court's action while the Supreme Court considers an application for relief.
The short Supreme Court order says the mandate of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in case No. 24-5050 is stayed pending further order by Roberts or the full court.
The order also set a response deadline, directing that a response to the application be filed by noon Eastern on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
The order was signed by Roberts and dated June 26, 2026. The supplied packet identifies the document as a Supreme Court miscellaneous order and does not include the underlying application or the D.C. Circuit materials.
Because the available source is limited to the stay order, the record supplied here does not establish the legal issue before the D.C. Circuit, the basis for Herridge's application, the respondents' position, or whether the Supreme Court took further action after the response deadline.
