A male Idaho college student challenging his state’s ban on male athletes competing on school sports teams intended for females asked to withdraw his Supreme Court case on Sept. 2.

Idaho filed a brief the next day indicating it opposes the request.

Previously, on July 3, the Supreme Court granted Idaho’s petition in Little v. Hecox, but had not yet scheduled an oral argument in the case.

On the same day, the high court also granted West Virginia’s petition in West Virginia v. B.P.J., a similar case in which a male student is challenging that state’s ban on males participating in female school sports teams.
