Does vacating the injunction is "appropriate" mean rejecting the District Court's preliminarily enjoining (that the executions should be delayed) is "proper"?

================
Chutkan's ruling was followed by a flurry of Supreme Court filings in which the government and advocates for Lee and the other inmates continued their legal battle, even as Lee's scheduled 4 p.m. execution time lapsed without action.


"Hours before the first execution was set to take place, the District Court preliminarily enjoined all four executions on the ground that the use of pentobarbital likely constitutes cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth Amendment," Supreme Court ruled Tuesday, adding that vacating the injunction is "appropriate" because the inmates' claim was not likely to succeed as it faced an "exceedingly high bar."

Yes. It is the right thing to do, in the Court's opinion.

...in the Supreme Court's opinion?
Was some other court quoted in the article?

The questions in this thread having been answered, I'm closing it.
