The Governator's stay application in the California prison case is on the Supreme Court's docket as 09A234. Carter Phillips of Sidley Austin is listed as counsel for petitioner.
The application is made to Justice Kennedy, as the designated Circuit Justice for the Ninth Circuit. Given the magnitude of the case, I wouldn't be surprised if he refers it to the full court.
Update: Lyle Denniston at SCOTUSblog has this post and the application.
