Collier v. Trump, 2024 WL 4171642 (decided September 12, 2024): Roberts denies stay (though it is not clear what is being stayed); pro se plaintiff was trying to appeal dismissal of her case against Trump alleging “ceditious [sic] conspiracy and contempt of court . . . tied to the January 6 insurrection, to child trafficking and attempted murders of child and mother cases”, according to the District Court’s order, which somehow found this to be a “fantastic or delusional scenario”.  Unfortunately cert was denied and the case went away.
