The justices turned away Chauvin's appeal that he filed after a Minnesota appellate court upheld his 2021 murder conviction and rejected his request for a new trial.
His attorney also said one juror may have concealed possible bias by failing to disclose during the jury selection process that he had attended "an anti-police 'George Floyd' rally."
Attorneys for Minnesota did not respond to Chauvin's petition asking the Supreme Court to hear his appeal.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals in April rebuffed Chauvin's appeal, upholding his conviction and rejecting his request for a new trial.
Minnesota's top court in July denied Chauvin's request to review the case, prompting his appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
