ALLIANCE FOR HIPPOCRATIC MEDICINE, ET AL. 

ON APPLICATION FOR STAY 

[April 21, 2023] 

The  applications  for  stays  presented  to  JUSTICE  ALITO 
and by him referred to the Court are granted.  The April 7,
2023  order  of  the  United  States  District  Court  for  the 
Northern District of Texas, case No. 2:22–cv–223, is stayed 
pending  disposition  of  the  appeal  in  the  United  States 
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit and disposition of a 
petition  for  a  writ  of  certiorari,  if  such  a  writ  is  timely 
sought.  Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall termi-
nate automatically.  In the event certiorari is granted, the 
stay  shall  terminate  upon  the  sending  down  of  the  judg-
ment of this Court.

 JUSTICE THOMAS would deny the applications for stays. 
JUSTICE ALITO, dissenting from grant of applications for 

stays.

In recent cases, this Court has been lambasted for staying 
a  District  Court  order  “based  on  the  scanty  review  this 
Court gives matters on its shadow docket,” Merrill v. Milli-
