Who is the plaintiff in this case and why did the Supreme Court of California deny it? I’m confused with all these lawsuits. Also, is there a case number so I can look it up in the SC of CA? Thanks.
Lightfoot v. Bowen, docket number S168690. This is a “Petition for Extraordinary Writ of Mandamus for Stay”.

I don't know a lot about the particulars of this case. I heard Dr. Orly discussing it the other day on PRN.
My understanding is that it was designed for the purpose of being denied at the CA SC level in order to rapidly be taken to SCOTUS.
I'll try to let you know more about the case as I find out.
