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.
WASHINGTON (TNND) — The lawsuit challenges Idaho's ban on transgender athletes playing girls' and women's sports.
Background of the Lawsuit
District Judge David Nye rejected former Boise State student Lindsay Hecox's motion to dismiss her lawsuit.
Hecox sued the state in 2020 in hopes of trying out for the school's cross-country team, and the case reached the Supreme Court after justices agreed to take it up in July.
Reason for Withdrawing the Lawsuit
Hecox sought to withdraw her lawsuit after the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, citing "negative public scrutiny" and wanting to focus on "academic and personal goals."
Ms. Hecox's motion to dismiss her lawsuit was rejected by the judge.
