ARIZONA, ET AL. v. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS, 
SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY 

ON APPLICATION FOR STAY 

[December 27, 2022] 

The application for stay pending certiorari presented to
THE  CHIEF  JUSTICE  and  by  him  referred  to  the  Court  is 
granted.  The November 15, 2022 order of the United States 
District Court for the District of Columbia, case No. 1:21– 
cv–00100,  is  hereby  stayed.  Applicants  suggested  this
Court treat the application as a petition for a writ of certio-
rari; doing so, the petition is granted.  The parties are di-
rected to brief and argue the following question: Whether 
the State applicants may intervene to challenge the District
Court’s summary judgment order. 

This stay precludes giving effect to the District Court or-
der setting aside and vacating the Title 42 policy; the stay
itself does not prevent the federal government from taking
any action with respect to that policy.  The Court’s review 
on  certiorari  is  limited  to  the  question  of  intervention. 
While  the  underlying  merits  of  the  District  Court’s  sum-
mary  judgment  order  are  pertinent  to  that  analysis,  the 
Court does not grant review of those merits, which have not
yet been addressed by the Court of Appeals. 

The Clerk is directed to establish a briefing schedule that 
will allow the case to be argued in the February 2023 argu-
ment session.  The stay shall terminate upon the sending 
down of the judgment of this Court.  The order heretofore 
entered by THE CHIEF JUSTICE is vacated.
