While the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction over disputes between states, it is not mandatory jurisdiction, which is why there is a motion for leave to file the case.

Under Rule 17, a motion was filed, so it gets docketed and the court sets a deadline for response.

Thereafter, it decides whether to hear the docketed case.

So, maybe the Court will agree to hear the case, but it has not done so yet.
