All the legal wranglings over sports event contracts seem to have a clear endpoint: the U.S. Supreme Court.

And at a status hearing last week in the Third Circuit, the state of New Jersey revealed that it was hoping to get its lawsuit against Kalshi in front of the court soon. After defeats in the District Court and Third Circuit, New Jersey aims to bring the case to the highest court possible.

“Defendants have indicated that they intend to seek further review of the Third Circuit’s decision in the U.S. Supreme Court,” the court’s summary of the hearing said. “The parties propose to file another joint status report within 21 days following either a Supreme Court decision denying certiorari or, should certiorari be granted, the Supreme Court’s final disposition of the case.”
