Dellinger was appointed by President Joe Biden in 2024 but was briefly fired by White House officials after Trump returned to power.
Law professors warned the Supreme Court about the potential economic consequences of their decision on Dellinger's case, urging them to protect the Federal Reserve.
The court's unsigned order reflects a decision on Dellinger's appeal related to Trump's recent actions since returning to office.
