There is nothing Steve Bannon has to say that is relevant to his efforts in order to avoid a fast-approaching stay in federal prison, prosecutors argued in a Wednesday filing with the U.S. Supreme Court.

In the government’s response in opposition to the defendant’s application for release pending appeal, Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argues the defendant has not met and cannot meet the “demanding” legal standard required for such “extraordinary relief.”

Last week, Bannon filed an emergency motion asking the nation’s high court to keep him out of prison after he was denied the same in a 2-1 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

In response, the government says there’s simply no matter of real dispute in the case that would result in the defendant’s victory.
