State v. operator
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, 26-1639
Pending
Briefing held in abeyance since Aug. 24, 2026 pending the Ohio/Tennessee appeals (Nos. 26-3196, 26-5235). Kalshi must file a status report within 21 days of judgment in those appeals; their panel decision issued Sept. 25, 2026 but a rehearing petition is pending. No later docket activity verified.
The question
Whether the district court erred in remanding Michigan's suit for lack of federal-question jurisdiction, no complete preemption, and no CFTC-related basis for federal-officer removal.
Kalshi is appealing the order returning Michigan's enforcement action to state court. The appeal was paused for the Sixth Circuit's Ohio and Tennessee decisions, which issued on Sept. 25, 2026.
