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

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)
