The US Supreme Court has granted Apple a one-day administrative pause to a lower court’s proceeding over its App Store fees, to give it more time to consider Apple’s request for a longer-term stay.

Justice Elena Kagan paused the proceedings in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, which are part of the long-running antitrust case between Apple and Epic Games that could have far-reaching effects on the terms Apple imposes on developers who use its App Store.

Without the pause, Apple would have needed to make a filing in the California case by Wednesday afternoon.

That deadline has now been pushed back to 5 p.m. Washington, DC time on Thursday.

Apple applied for proceedings in the California case to be suspended while the Supreme Court reviews a judge’s finding that held Apple in contempt of a court order telling it to allow developers to point users to cheaper payment options outside the App Store.

Apple did so, but imposed fees for such payments that were similar to payments made through the App Store.

US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found this violated her earlier ruling.

The Ninth Circuit upheld the contempt ruling, and the Supreme Court is likely to review it in December.

The original ruling, which found Apple in violation of California law and ordered it to allow third-party payment methods, was upheld by both the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals and the US Supreme Court.

The Ninth Circuit also upheld the contempt finding, but said Apple should be allowed to impose charges, and told Gonzalez Rogers to consider new arguments from the company over an “appropriate” level of compensation.

It is those proceedings in Oakland district court that Apple is currently seeking to suspend.
