Trump’s E. Jean Carroll Petition Remained Pending at the Supreme Court

Supreme Court briefing on Trump’s Carroll petition continued past the edition date Confidence 5/5

Correction: Correction: Trump’s E. Jean Carroll cert petition was filed Nov. 10, 2025, docketed Nov. 13, and Carroll’s response deadline was extended to Jan. 14, 2026. As of Dec. 17, 2025, the petition remained pending at the cert stage.

Donald Trump’s Supreme Court petition in the E. Jean Carroll case remained pending through the end of 2025. The petition for certiorari was filed on Nov. 10, 2025, and docketed three days later, on Nov. 13. The docket shows the Court first set a Dec. 15 response deadline, then granted a motion on Nov. 18 extending Carroll’s time to answer until Jan. 14, 2026.

That kept the case in the certiorari pipeline rather than on a merits calendar. The public docket shows briefing and amicus filings moving on the schedule the Court set, but no merits decision or other final action as of Dec. 17, 2025.

The Carroll petition is separate from an earlier emergency stay application Trump filed in a different Supreme Court docket in January 2025. That earlier filing involved a different case number, different relief, and a different procedural posture.
