The application for a stay presented to The Chief Justice
is referred by him to the Court. The Special Counsel’s request
to treat the stay application as a petition for a writ of
certiorari is granted, and that petition is granted limited to
the following question: Whether and if so to what extent does a
former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal
prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during
his tenure in office. Without expressing a view on the merits,
this Court directs the Court of Appeals to continue withholding
issuance of the mandate until the sending down of the judgment of
this Court. The application for a stay is dismissed as moot.
The case will be set for oral argument during the week of
April 22, 2024. Petitioner’s brief on the merits, and any amicus
curiae briefs in support or in support of neither party, are to
be filed on or before Tuesday, March 19, 2024. Respondent’s
brief on the merits, and any amicus curiae briefs in support, are
to be filed on or before Monday, April 8, 2024. The reply brief,
if any, is to be filed on or before 5 p.m., Monday, April 15, 2024.
