Isn't the 9th court the one in San Francisco, the one also that SCOTUS overturns more than any other?

It is. There have been occasions where a SCOTUS justice stays available so that as soon as the 9th circuit makes a ruling he can issue a stay. (This is for cases where the circuit is blocking an execution at the last minute, the SCOTUS justice stays the circuit's order, and the execution proceeds)
