CEMEX lost in the 9th Cir and wants Judgment stayed (ie not enforced) until a SC petition is ruled upon. That can take months. Kagan said No. Now, CEMEX is crying to lil 'lito that Kagan is a big meanie. But, any stay needed 4 justices, which if they were willing to grant would've said yes already.

No, this is not going to work. If a stay motion has any merit, its referred to the whole court. Asking another justice, when the justice over that Circuit refuses would be a huge breach of etiquette. If lil 'Lito had any inclination to grant a stay he would have got involved when it first was filed.
scotus is not delaying the second appeal (1st case). At least not yet. The adjudicated rapist has 90 days from the final denial from the 2nd Cir., which is around end of July. But, he can ask for a 60 day extension. If Carroll also asks for an extension, it'll be January before its first considered.
This reminds me of a different unrelated comment about lifeboats on the Titanic. The sad reality is that many "solutions" to problems don't actually solve the problem. They are designed to assuage people's concerns by telling them that action is being taken even if that action is ultimately useless.
