They denied the little sister's motion to intervene, but also upheld the dismissal on grounds of mootness and voided the whole case. Does that mean the case just goes away now or do the plaintiffs have some recourse to start over at the district court?

Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 3:24 PM To: religionlaw@lists.ucla.edu Subject: Complex SCOTUS Move Gets Rid of Anti-Gay T-shirt Case Today, in a procedural move that only lawyers could love, the US Supreme Court granted cert and then ordered the 9th Circuit to dismiss as moot a case challenging school rules on student anti-gay religious expression. However parallel claims by the student's sister are still in the lower courts. For details of the complex procedural posture of the case and its lower court history, see this Religion Clause blog posting on Tyler v.
