Sotomayor Seeks Response to ISPs' Stay Request in N.Y. Affordability Case

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked New York to respond by Sept. 16 to ISP groups' application that would stay the state’s broadband affordability law, a text entry in docket 24A138 said Monday. Last week, New York agreed not to enforce the law while the high court considers a petition from ISP groups for a writ of certiorari (see 2408080022). The ISP groups were expected to file that petition Monday, but it didn’t appear on the court’s website before our deadline. If the court grants cert, additionally granting the stay application would stop New York from enforcing the law while justices weigh the case.
