Court records or public filings show the plaintiffs withdrew their petition for certiorari in Pizarro v. Home Depot.

Source summary
The Department of Labor said plaintiffs in Pizarro v. Home Depot withdrew their petition for Supreme Court review, effectively ending the case after Home Depot won in lower courts. The department had filed an amicus brief urging the Court to reject the plaintiffs' legal theory and argued that ERISA does not create a special burden-shifting rule for loss causation. DOL officials framed the withdrawal as a win for legal clarity, saying broader liability would encourage meritless litigation and raise costs for plan sponsors.

Latest fact check

Supreme Court procedural records indicate that in Pizarro v. The Home Depot, Inc. (No. 24-620), the petitioners filed a motion to dismiss the case pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 46.1 on January 7, 2026, and the Court dismissed the petition on January 8, 2026, under Rule 46. This reflects a voluntary withdrawal by the petitioners of their own certiorari petition. The U.S. Department of Labor’s January 9, 2026 news release explicitly states that the plaintiffs in Pizarro v. Home Depot "withdrew their petition for certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court." Taken together, these records support that the plaintiffs did in fact withdraw their certiorari petition.

The verdict is True because Supreme Court docket information and the Department of Labor’s official statement both confirm that the plaintiffs moved to dismiss and thereby withdrew their petition for certiorari in Pizarro v. Home Depot.
