Mayer and ruling

That all may be true, but the fact is that in that district, Mayer's latest ruling is the last recent decision on point for those issues and the one to follow for any follow up cases. Mayer's ruling can also be used a persuasive argument in other districts.

While it is possible that the SCOTUS can review the case, in the appellate decision in VRNG vs GOOG, SCOTUS did NOT take the case on review; also SCOTUS only reviews about 1% of the cases submitted for review, so the odds are NOT that good of Mayer's ruling being overturned.

Procedures of the Supreme Court of the United States

Each year, the court receives approximately 9,000–10,000 petitions for certiorari, of which less than 1% (approximately 80–100), are granted plenary review with oral arguments, and an additional 50 to 60 are disposed of without plenary review.



In short, if a cases loses at the appellate level, it is usually all over.
