The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up the case of a Christian baker in California who was prosecuted for declining to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex marriage celebration.

The nation’s highest court turned away the petition without comment in an unsigned order in Miller v. Civil Rights Department on Dec. 8. No justices dissented.
