Apple's Response Due Friday to Epic’s Application to Vacate 9th Circuit Stay

Justice Elena Kagan requested Apple's response by Friday at 5 p.m. EDT to Epic Games’ July 25 emergency application to vacate the stay of the appellate mandate issued to Apple by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, or to vacate the court’s stay pending appeal (see 2307280011), said a docket entry Monday (docket 23A78) at the U.S. Supreme Court. The stay is preventing enforcing the injunction that Epic won in the district court to enjoin Apple from imposing its anti-steering rules against mobile app developers. Kagan is the U.S. Supreme Court justice for the 9th Circuit.
