Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Supreme Court has its own set of rules. According to these rules, four of the nine Justices must vote to accept a case. Five of the nine Justices must vote in order to grant a stay, e.g., a stay of execution in a death penalty case.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the Supreme Court, if four Justices agree to review the case, then the Court will hear the case. This is referred to as “granting certiorari, ” often abbreviated as “cert.” If four Justices do not agree to review the case, the Court will not hear the case.

Detailed explanation-3: -The “rule of four” is the Supreme Court’s practice of granting a petition for review only if there are at least four votes to do so. The rule is an unwritten internal one; it is not dictated by any law or the Constitution.
