There was no circuit split here and the status quo did not involve any pressing constitutional controversy or original jurisdiction, so it was unlikely they would grant cert (take the case).

Had the lower court's decision involved criminalizing hundreds of thousands of people's daily lives, that might create the sort of controversy the court would consider vital to resolve.
