In its order (PDF) [ [link removed] ], the Court states it “will not interpret the Supreme Court’s shadow docket summary orders (issued without any reasoning or explanation) as definitive indications as to how either the Supreme Court or the First Circuit Court of Appeals might rule on a motion to stay or on the merits of this case.” 

Attorney General Nessel issued the following statement in response: 

“I’m relieved the Court rejected yet another attempt by the Trump Administration to move forward with illegally dismantling pivotal divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services. While I’m certain the case will continue to be appealed through the courts, I remain committed to defending the health and safety of Michigan residents at every turn.”
