It was presented to Gorsuch, who then referred it to the full court. In order to receive the stay, the appellants required five of the justices to vote in their favor. This was before Kavanaugh took the bench, so they would've needed five of eight. The dissent was written by Ginsberg and joined by Kagan, but this wasn't a full decision and so it's not one where the full bench will join in opinions being written. There was no majority opinion, for instance.
Got it. Thank you.
