What is the effect on a lower court ruling when an appeal is pending before the US Supreme Court?

There is usually a "stay" on the lower court order, preventing any action from being taken until the US Supreme Court rules.
If the case has simply been petitioned to the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, and has not (yet) been accepted for review, the lower court must agree to the stay, or the US Supreme Court must override their refusal and grant an emergency order.

When an appeal is pending before the US Supreme Court, the lower court ruling is typically put on hold or stayed until the Supreme Court makes a final decision. This means that the lower court's ruling does not have immediate effect and is effectively paused until the Supreme Court resolves the case.

Can a wage garnishment be appealed?
ANYTHING can be appealed except a decision of the US Supreme Court. If you believe that you have grounds for an appeal you may do so. Hint: If your appeal is accepted make sure it includes wording to the effect that the garnishment action is halted pending the outcome of your appeal.

Why does the US Supreme Court exercise considerable discretion in deciding which cases to review?
So many cases are appealed to the US Supreme Court that if it had mandatory appellate jurisdiction, its workload would be impossible to manage. In addition, the Supreme Court has the ability to permit lower court decisions to stand without actually hearing them on appeal. It does this by denying the request to be heard when it denies the "writ of certiorari". This has the effect of allowing the lower court opinion to stand unchanged just as if it had heard the appeal and ruled that the lower court decision was correct.
Are to be laws enforced?
A pending law will not be enforced until passed by whoever is in charge of pending laws. As soon as the law is passed, it will be put into effect and enforced. by deepika (m.b.b.s.)
