Justices on the Supreme Court did not explain their decision, which was conveyed alongside other denials in a list issued by the court. Lawyers for Mr. Archer and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which had asked the court to reject Mr. Archer’s request, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
