DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 1/19/2018.

Petition for a writ of certiorari filed. (Response due February 5, 2018)

Application (17A550) referred to the Court.

Application (17A550) granted by the Court. The application for a stay presented to Justice Kennedy and by him referred to the Court is granted, and the District Court’s October 20, 2017 order granting a preliminary injunction is stayed pending disposition of the Government’s appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of the Government’s petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is sought. If a writ of certiorari is sought and the Court denies the petition, this order shall terminate automatically. If the Court grants the petition for a writ of certiorari, this order shall terminate when the Court enters its judgment. In light of its decision to consider the case on an expedited basis, we expect that the Court of Appeals will render its decision with appropriate dispatch. Justice Ginsburg and Justice Sotomayor would deny the application.

Reply of applicants Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, et al. filed.

Motion (17A550) for leave to file amici brief and motion for leave to file brief in compliance with Rule 33.2 filed by the State of New York, et al.
