EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Justice Elena Kagan denies a surrogate's emergency request to halt a California parentage order in a complex infant custody dispute.
A deeply personal legal fight involving a medically fragile baby reached the nation’s highest court after producing competing rulings and emergency proceedings across three states.
The request asked for immediate intervention to stop enforcement of a parentage order, but it did not result in the full Supreme Court reviewing the underlying questions involving custody, surrogacy, and abortion.
