The U.S. Supreme Court on June 15 dismissed a firearms industry group’s challenge to a New York law that allows lawsuits against industry participants for alleged harms caused by their products.

The high court’s new decision took the form of an unsigned order dismissing an industry petition. No justices dissented. The court did not explain its decision.
