Federal court dismisses appeal of lawsuit contesting transgender woman in Wyoming sorority

A federal court has dismissed the appeal of a lawsuit challenging a transgender woman's acceptance into a sorority at the University of Wyoming. The three-judge U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled Wednesday the case wasn't appealable because it could be refiled in a lower court. Six members of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority chapter in Laramie, Wyoming, sued to challenge Artemis Langford's admittance into the organization.

Sweeping view of the inside of the Colorado Supreme Court courtroom. Pews line the foreground, almost like being in a church, with a sumptuous red carpet on the floor. A podium can be seen through the aisle. At the front is a large bench where the judges sit, with a seal at the middle. It's all under the skylights of a dome. No one is in the picture.
