SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Present: Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Kennedy, Justice Thomas,
Justice Ginsburg, Justice Breyer, Justice Alito, Justice Sotomayor, and
Justice Kagan.
Order in Pending Case
No. 15A999. Marc Veasey, et al., Applicants v. Greg Abbott, Governor
of Texas, et al. Application to vacate the stay entered by the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on October 14, 2014, presented
to Justice Thomas and by him referred to the Court is denied.
The Court recognizes the time constraints the parties confront in light
of the scheduled elections in November, 2016. If, on or before July 20,
2016, the Court of Appeals has neither issued an opinion on the merits
of the case nor issued an order vacating or modifying the current stay
order, an aggrieved party may seek interim relief from this Court by
filing an appropriate application. An aggrieved party may also seek
interim relief if any change in circumstances before that date supports
further arguments respecting the stay order.
