That's not quite the way it works. The plaintiffs or the defendants can request that the Supreme Court hear the case on an expedited basis. The Supreme Court may refuse to hear the case before it goes through the Appeals Court level; in which case, if either side appeals, it goes to the Appeals court level. After the case winds its way through the Appeals Court, either side may again appeal the case to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court refuses to hear the case after the Appeals Court, then the case is over. The Supreme Court rarely takes cases on an expedited basis, even more rarely takes cases on an expedited basis unless both sides request this. If the case is not heard on an expedited basis, this in no way forecloses the normal appeals process to either side.
