Pearson v. Kemp, No. 1:20-cv-4809 (N.D. Ga.), No. 20-14480 (11th Cir.), No. 20-816 (S. Ct.) (https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/court-cases/voting-ri...) has a fun one:

"In this case, the district court issued an emergency temporary restraining order at the plaintiffs’ request, worked at a breakneck pace to provide them an opportunity for broader relief, and was ready to enter an appealable order on the merits of their claims immediately after its expedited hearing on December 4, 2020. But the plaintiffs would not take the district court’s “yes” for an answer. They appealed instead. And, because they appealed , the evidentiary hearing has been stayed and the case considerably delayed. For our part, the law requires that we dismiss the appeal and return the case to the district court for further proceedings."
