Proceedings
- Sep 19 2025Application (25A287) referred to the Court.
- Sep 19 2025Application (25A287) for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is granted. The Court has already granted certiorari on the sovereign immunity issue decided below, and the pending damages trial before the Supreme Court of the State of New York would be barred if New Jersey Transit Corporation were entitled to sovereign immunity from suit. Respondents, on the other hand, identify no tangible irreparable harm they would face if the trial were delated until after this Court decides the pending case. The trial scheduled for September 15, 2025, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, is therefore stayed pending the issuance of the mandate of this Court in NJ Transit Corp., et al. v. Colt, Jeffrey, et al., case No. 24-1113, and Galette, Cedric v. NJ Transit Corp., case No. 24-1021.
- Sep 12 2025Order entered by Justice Sotomayor: Upon consideration of the application of counsel for the applicants, it is ordered that the trial in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Index No. 158309/2017, is hereby stayed pending further order of Justice Sotomayor or of the Court.
- Sep 12 2025Response to application from respondent Jeffrey Colt and Betsy Tsai filed.
