does this mean SCOTUS has ageed to hear the case, or does it mean they're deciding whether to hear it?

Friday was the deadline for Colorado to respond to the suit being brought forth.

To recap:

The SCOTUS has not yet agreed to HEAR the case, Oklahoma and Nebraska have just filed a suit in the hopes they will.
Colorado is asking the SCOTUS to throw out/dismiss the suit without hearing it
If Oklahoma and Nebraska win the suit, it won't make marijuana illegal in Colorado, but it WILL prevent the State from having a hand in regulating and controlling marijuana, essentially restoring the black market of cartels and dealers by removing any licensing, taxation, oversight, or state regulation.
Washington has filed a brief in support of Colorado, on the grounds a judgement would affect other states; marijuana laws as well
