17-127 KOLBE, STEPHEN V., ET AL. V. HOGAN, GOV. OF MD, ET AL.

The motion of Edwin Vieira, Jr., et al. for leave to file a
brief as amici curiae is granted. The petition for a writ of
certiorari is denied.
So...they allowed a new brief - does that mean the case is still on the proverbial table?

Good question. I don't know enough about the process to say.

They allowed the amicus brief to be added, but they won't hear the case. Cert is a petition and if granted basically tells a lower court "give us the case to review", not all petitions are granted. SCOTUS gets 7000-8000 cert petitions per year and only hears about 80 cases.
