Supreme Court of the United States / October Term 2025

Enbridge Energy, LP v. Nessel

Decided April 22, 2026. Sonia Sotomayor delivered the opinion of the Court.

Docket 24-783 · 608 U.S. ___ (2026)

Holding

Because 28 U. S. C. §1446(b)(1)’s text, structure, and context are inconsistent with equitable tolling, Enbridge’s removal of the case to federal court outside the statute’s 30-day deadline was untimely.
