The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied Apple Inc.'s Emergency Motion for Stay following its unsuccessful effort to intervene in ongoing proceedings against Google LLC. The court ruled that Apple did not meet the stringent requirements for obtaining a stay, especially failing to show a likelihood of success on appeal. It emphasized that a stay is not a right and requires a compelling justification, which Apple did not provide, further noting that the courts had adequately addressed the relevant legal standards in the intervention ruling.
"A stay is an 'intrusion into the ordinary processes of administration and judicial review,' and accordingly 'is not a matter of right, even if irreparable injury might otherwise result.'"
"The party requesting a stay bears the burden of showing that the circumstances justify an exercise of [judicial] discretion."
"Apple has not established a likelihood of success on the merits—'one of the two 'most critical' prongs of the test for a stay.'"
"Apple does not contend that the court applied the wrong legal standard or failed to consider 'all the circumstances' in deciding Apple's Motion for Limited Intervention."
