        It’s a New York state civil case. SCOTUS would be going way out of their way to get involved in this one.

        SCOTUS won’t override a state court on matters of state law. The will always defer to the highest court in each state unless there is a federal question involved.

            The Supreme Court has the right to issue certiorari over any case with a few exceptions where Congress has created specific courts to have original jurisdiction. Bankruptcy court is an example as well as immigration court. The question isn’t whether they can but which cases to prioritize given the amount of time they have available each year.

        I don’t see how SCOTUS would ever agree to take this case, either. That said, I won’t put it past them
