A fully vaccinated frequent traveler unable to wear a mask submitted an emergency application today to the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to enjoin the government from enforcing the Federal Transportation Mask Mandate pending a final resolution of his lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Orlando.
Lucas Wall, 44, of Washington, D.C., sent the application and appendix to Justice Clarence Thomas, who oversees federal courts in the 11th Circuit. Wall requests Thomas issue a preliminary injunction against the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, Transportation Security Administration, and other federal agencies to stop the mask mandate everywhere. He needs emergency relief no later than July 16 so he can take a July 17 flight to Germany, a trip he’s already had to postpone twice.
