Judge Blocks Request to Withdraw Lawsuit Over Idaho's Transgender Athlete Law
A judge ruled against a former transgender athlete in Idaho who attempted to drop her lawsuit slated for arguments at the Supreme Court this year.
District Judge David Nye rejected former Boise State student Lindsay Hecox's motion to dismiss her lawsuit challenging Idaho's ban on transgender athletes.
Hecox sued the state in hopes of trying out for the school's cross-country team in 2020 in a legal battle that reached the Supreme Court after justices agreed to take up the case in July.
Ms. Hecox sought to withdraw her lawsuit after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, citing "negative public scrutiny" because of the litigation and wanting to focus on "academic and personal goals."
The lawsuit challenges Idaho's first-in-the-nation ban on transgender athletes playing girls' and women's sports.
Author's summary: Judge rejects withdrawal of lawsuit over Idaho's transgender athlete law.
