securing a restraining order against Murphy and the production company from airing Feud until further review and a court date with the United States Supreme Court.
The court record does not show any restraining order halting 'Feud' or any Supreme Court hearing date. The U.S. Supreme Court docket shows only a cert petition that was denied on January 7, 2019.
Full reasoning
The official U.S. Supreme Court docket for de Havilland v. FX Networks, LLC (No. 18-453) shows a very limited procedural history: a petition for writ of certiorari filed on October 5, 2018, opposition and reply briefs, distribution for the Court's January 4, 2019 conference, and then "Petition DENIED" on January 7, 2019. It does not show a stay, restraining order, injunction, or merits hearing date.
SCOTUSblog's case page matches that record, labeling the case "Certiorari Denied" and listing the same sequence of events. The Los Angeles Times likewise reported that the Supreme Court declined to hear de Havilland's case, ending the matter.
So while de Havilland did seek higher-court review, the article's claim that she obtained a restraining order stopping the airing of Feud and secured a Supreme Court court date is not supported by the official docket and is contradicted by the case history.
