State v. operator
State of Washington v. KalshiEX, LLC
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, 26-3106
Pending
Stay pending appeal denied May 21, 2026 (Nelson, Bade, Lee). Briefing was set to finish in late August 2026; Vultax reports the appeal is now paused, which the docket (retrieved July 10, 2026) does not yet show. No decision.
The question
Whether the federal court erred in remanding Washington's enforcement suit to state court.
Kalshi appealed the remand of Washington's case. A panel of Judges Nelson, Bade and Lee denied a stay, finding litigation in state court was not irreparable harm.
