The Supreme Court said the stay request that was first submitted to Chief Justice John Roberts and referred by him to the full court has been denied.
Roberts earlier this month agreed to stay a district court order that held the company in contempt and imposed a “fixed monetary penalty” that was set to increase each day the corporation failed to comply with the subpoena. The Supreme Court on Tuesday, however, vacated that order.
The federal grand jury subpoena, which is being kept under seal along with related court filings, seeks information from a corporation owned by a foreign government, known in court filings only as “Country A.”
