The title is not accurate. This is a motion for a stay pending an appeal. Apple already moved to intervene ("become a defendant") back on December 23, 2024. It was not an emergency motion. That motion was denied on January 27, 2025.

Apple now wishes to appeal. The top comment states "When they asked to file some briefs they were denied." In fact, the court will allow Apple to file an amicus brief: "The court hereby grants Apple permission to participate as amicus curiae and file a posthearing brief alongside the parties. If Mr. Cue is called to testify at the evidentiary hearing, Apple may also submit an affidavit from one additional fact witness that addresses facts not covered by Mr. Cue's testimony. If Mr. Cue is not called to testify, Apple may submit two affidavits from fact witnesses, in addition to a post-hearing brief."
