Case history

1. Robles, the plaintiff, couldn’t order a pizza from Domino’s through the internet (this was back in 2016, which becomes relevant later).
2. The district court decided in favor of Dominos.
3. The court of appeals overturned the district court’s ruling.
4. The Supreme court said they would hear the case but then punted it back down to the district court for rehearing.

The case was scheduled to go to trial on Monday. Today’s order cancels that trial.

Update: In November, Domino’s settled the case with Robles
