Request for the stay for Donofrio denied this morning at 10am, as per expected. I am not a supreme court expert, but I think that is the end of the story.

And generally once the whole court, instead of one justice, decides not to proceed on one of a class of similar cases, they will not accept others. That includes the Berg case which has not been scheduled for consideration either. So I would be nearly 100% certain none of those 17+ cases will ever get considered at the Supreme Court.
