The White House won’t seek a U.S. Supreme Court intervention for its requirement that health care organizations and hospitals perform and cover transgender medical procedures after it missed its deadline to file an appeal.

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty legal group said in a statement that the Biden administration missed a June 20 deadline to appeal its case to the U.S. Supreme Court after multiple courts blocked the administration’s mandate. Both the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the mandate from going through in recent years.
